Mission & Values
At Campus Events & Conference Services (CECS), our mission is to enrich university life by creating opportunities for community connection and collaboration to thrive. Through proactive partnerships and a commitment to excellence, we help faculty, staff and students host events that leave a lasting impact.
What We Do
As the central hub for events on the St. George campus, our expert team at CECS works behind-the-scenes with clients and stakeholders to manage event logistics in venues and spaces across campus. As part of our daily operations, CECS:
- Operates two full-service conference facilities.
- Manages indoor and outdoor shared event spaces across campus.
- Provides expertise and services that simplify the event planning process.
Why It Matters
By coordinating live events, CECS reduces the stress of planning so faculty, researchers and department-level staff can focus on their groundbreaking work and developing meaningful connections with peers. In doing so, we strengthen U of T’s global reputation for collaboration, innovation and academic excellence.
We also play a critical role in ensuring that high-profile and community events run seamlessly—while safeguarding the university’s core mission of teaching and research.
Creating Memories that Last
From conferences to community celebrations, CECS helps create moments that matter.
Each year, our team proudly supports Convocation, coordinating every detail so graduates and their families can enjoy a seamless and joyful celebration of their U of T journey.
