    • Pay your invoices with the Office of Meetings & Conferences. Be sure to get a receipt of payment. Payments for events should be made prior to the event and must be paid within 30 days of the event.  Failure to pay within 30 days may result in loss of privileges to reserve rooms and cancellation of future reserved events and until the balance is paid.
