Special Events will not provide any Computers, Projectors, or Screens for outdoor events.

Tables/Chairs:

All requests for equipment (tables, chairs, easels, etc.) in outdoor spaces, or in venues that do not have their own tables and chairs, are for delivery and pick up only. Client is responsible for set up and tear down of equipment.
If equipment was left on carts, it should be returned to the carts.
