Events For Skidmore Community Members
Host your event with us
We'd love to host your department meeting or event. The Surrey's first floor can be reserved for meetings and events internally up to six months in advance.
Partner with Conferences and Events
Event specifics are subject to approval and must be discussed with the Conferences and Events team in advance to determine appropriate use of the facilities and campus resources. Special setups of the furniture are limited in nature to preserve the integrity of the space. Maximum occupancy for seated events is 48, standing receptions cannot exceed 100. Please note that the inn remains locked, except during scheduled meeting or events.
Food and alcohol
Events involving food and beverage must be catered by Skidmore Dining Services. Use of outside caterers is prohibited. No food is permitted to be brought in. To serve alcoholic beverages, a minimum of 30 days' notice is required to secure proper permitting.
