Speaker or Lecture

A speaker or lecture space is suitable for an audience to focus at the front of the space on a person or a panel of people speaking or lecturing. 

Planning to host an outside speaker, lecturer, performer, or artist? Event requests involving individuals who are not current Cornell faculty, staff, or students must be submitted at least 30 days before the event start date. The individual's name must be entered in the Event Request Form before the request can be reviewed.

When looking for a venue to hold a speaker or lecture, be sure to reserve one with adequate room at the front for your presenters, adequate audio-visual equipment, and other building amenities.
