First Step
The first step to hosting your event on the LMU campus is to provide Conference Services with a letter of intent. The letter of intent should include the following information:
• Summary and goals of event
• Description of your organization
• Proposed dates
• Meeting space needs
PLEASE NOTE: Each new group who visits our campus must be approved by the university administration to ensure it supports the mission of the university. Please send your Letter of Intent via email to conference@lmu.edu or complete an online Information Request Form.
