Yale Conferences & Events had the honor of assisting with the Yale Lightweight Crew Centennial, which took place on January 28th at the Yale Schwarzman Center. A full house of over 400 alumni, students, and parents attended this event, along with a number of VIP guests, to commemorate 100 years of Yale Lightweight Rowing. In fact, the event was so popular, a waitlist had to be established. Guests were treated to a reception from 6 to 7 PM, followed by dinner and speeches from 7 to 10 PM.
By working with multiple partners, including the Schwarzman Center’s hospitality and production teams, Yale Catering, Yale Public Safety and YPPS, YC&E was able to leverage our collective resources and expertise to create an event that was not only successful but ran smoothly and safely. Kudos to everyone involved!
