If you're reading this page, you're probably a Head of Committee or a Society President who wants to run an event. If not, you're probably looking for this page. Running an event in college is a fairly involved process and isn't really an exact science - it changes based on what kind of event you are organising.
It basically comes down to a few basic things:
1. Getting a date in the Events Calendar
2. Deciding on what you're doing
3. Getting technical support from Tech Comm
4. Filling in paperwork
Every event needs to have one of these filled in: Event Notification Form, so here is a good place to start.
Other than that, pretty much everything you need to know about running an event can be found in THIS GUIDE (still a work in progress).
If you still have questions, please email the Events Officer at events@mildert.co.uk who will be more than happy to help you out!
