Marketing & Communications Office

Events are powerful communications tools, delivering total brand engagement – physical, emotional, visual and intellectual - in real time, with no “do overs”. Most people don’t see beyond the surface, but we know that the secret behind every successful event is the attention paid to hundreds of little details and considerations that are easily overlooked - unless you know what to look for!

Our expert team of event planners know that hosting an event represents a significant investment in time, money and other scarce resources, so we help you manage these, as well as define and achieve an outcome that supports your strategic objectives.

Whether face-to-face or online; no matter the scale or the occasion, you can count on us for advice on and assistance with organising, promoting and executing your next event. Bring us on board early to work with your organising team, and benefit from the combined expertise of our event management team, as well as the rest of M&C!

We are most proud of …. 

• One of our most prestigious events - the installation of our new Chancellor, Mr. Robert Bermudez in 2017.
• One of our best attended events - the Professorial Inaugural Lecture by Professor Yuri Clement.
• In March 2020, when COVID-19 led to the shutdown of educational institutions, we coordinated UWI’s first virtual Campus Council meeting. By July, the number of virtual events stood at 20, and by October 2020, we had supported more than 100 virtual events and activities.
