The Department of Conferences and Special Program Development at the University of Rhode Island can help your organization plan all aspects of any conference, workshop, seminar, short course, or training program.  The Department can offer meeting planning assistance and access to facilities on our various campuses – anything from small meeting rooms to large, auditorium-style rooms accommodating up to several hundred people, and everything in between.  Read about how Amtrol hosted its North American sales meeting at URI.

The Business Engagement Center can also work with you to identify any equipment usage needs you might have.  From the 3-D Imaging capability for biomedical sciences and its various applications, to equipment in URI’s Sensor and Surface Technology Lab in chemical engineering.  We can share what we have developed here at URI for research purposes to help you achieve your business objectives.  Learn more about URI’s research/lab facilities and equipment.
