Audio Visual Services (AVS) may provide conference support as a costed service, however this is subject to staff availability and university teaching support commitments. University staff who are organising conferences should get in touch with AVS at the earliest opportunity to discuss both technical support and equipment needs.
If you require a support website for your conference (which includes a shopping basket and e-commerce environment) Information Services can provide this as a costed service.
