Workshop, Institute and Conference Services (WICS)

WICS provides fee-for-service technology for classroom presentations where the audience in question is neither faculty, staff, nor students of Georgetown University.

Because CETS' primary mission is to provide technology for regularly-scheduled Main Campus classes of Georgetown University, WICS is limited, lest it interfere with that mission. This page details WICS, and the procedures patrons should follow to obtain service.

All questions about CETS Workshop, Institute and Conference Services should be directed to John Steitz, (202) 687-2509, or Mark Cohen, (202) 687-7610.

Service Locations for Conferences and Workshops

CETS will provide equipment to conferences and workshops which have been assigned space on the Main Campus by the Office of the University Registrar, or the Office of Campus Activity Facilities. CETS will not provide service to departmental conference rooms, offices, or other spaces on campus not scheduled by either of these offices.

Year-round Service: CETS provides year-round service to conferences and workshops in multiple-media classrooms, where technology is permanently installed. A list of these classrooms and seminar rooms is attached. CETS also provides year-round conference and workshop services in the ICC Auditorium and ICC Galleria.

Limited Service: During the Summer Term, University Breaks and Intersessions, CETS will provide technology for other locations, once the needs of scheduled classes have been met:

Delivery Service - CETS will delivery technology and media to classrooms and seminar rooms in the following buildings: Healy, ICC, New North, Reiss, St. Mary’s, Walsh, and White Gravenor. In each of these buildings, CETS will deliver equipment to any classroom or seminar room scheduled by the Office of the University Registrar, with elevator access. Equipment available for delivery include: VHS videocassette players and TV monitors, DVD players and TV monitors, classroom computers and computer projectors, audio cassette players, audio CD players, 35 mm slide projectors, and 16m film projectors. In limited locations, CETS can also deliver document cameras and interactive white boards.

Loan Service - In spaces that do not contain built-in technology, and where delivery of equipment is not practical, CETS will make available portable equipment, which conference organizers may pick up from, and return to, ICC 121 during CETS hours. Subject to availability, patrons may borrow classroom computers and computer projectors, audio cassette players, audio CD players, 35 mm slide projectors, and 16m film projectors from ICC 121.

During the Fall and Spring Academic terms, there is no delivery or loan services for conferences and workshops outside of multiple-media classrooms and the ICC Auditorium and Galleria.

Note: Reservation of classroom or other space does not, by itself, constitute reservation of classroom technology.
