Getting into a VIP’s busy diary
If it is important that the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor or external VIP attends/hosts your event, it is essential that you approach them well in advance of the proposed date (You should give them at least six month’s advance notice of the date). Your event proposal will be useful in outlining the purpose and format of the event and highlighting the important role of the VIP. Where your VIP is an integral part of your proposed event (e.g. a lecture or presentation), offer more than one dates to their office as this flexibility will make it easier to find a date that works for everyone.
