Expert planning. Seamless execution. Extended impact.
Conferences and Institutes partners with subject matter experts throughout the University to plan both large and small educational programs across a broad range of fields. Disseminating research, co-creating knowledge, tackling complex problems, fostering interdisciplinary connections, and helping workforce professionals develop new skills are all central to Penn State’s teaching, research, and engagement mission, and we’re here to help advance this work.
Conferences and professional programs are vital platforms for sharing research, advancing professional practice, building networks, and amplifying the University’s impact locally and globally. From the initial concept to the post-program evaluation, our team of operations experts will be working tirelessly to help you present a conference, workshop, symposium, or other professional program that reflects Penn State’s status as a world-class university.
Equipped with institutional knowledge and project management skills, we keep tasks and timelines on track, monitor budget and finance matters, manage all communications across stakeholder groups, anticipate problems before they arise, and ensure policy adherence.

Partner Testimonials
Conferences and Institutes helped so much with all the scheduling, financial tracking, web marketing, food, entertainment, and more. They brought expertise in areas where I am not well versed and would not have known what to do.
We love you guys! You cut through the red tape by already understanding what would have taken us weeks to figure out.
The best part for me was the high level of organization. Your team was well prepared and that made everything significantly better for me and for the participants!
