What We Offer

The Conferences, Reservations and Event Services Department (CRES) works closely with Client to coordinate conferences occurring on the University's campus. The office, located in the Bonnie E. Cone University Center, provides a "one-stop shop" for meeting and recreational facilities, housing, food service, parking and other services.
