Event Facilities
Located in the center of Downtown Stamford, the Stamford Campus recognizes its special urban character which is ideal for hosting both campus and community events. The University Conference Center provides conference facilities, services, and programs for educational and personal enrichment purposes.
The University Conference Center is an ideal setting for small and large events. Our convenient location, quiet and professional meeting spaces, and competitive rates assure that your conference, seminar, or meeting will be a great success!
Our Events Coordinator can assist you in selecting rooms and seating arrangements that suit your needs. Seating in most rooms can be also tailored to meet your needs. Meeting rooms range in size from the 270-seat General Re Auditorium to smaller rooms that can accommodate groups from 100 – 20 people.

"I am writing to express our deep appreciation for the professional, efficient and cordial reception we always receive from the Events Coordinator and other UCONN staff when we hold meetings at both the Multi-Purpose Room and Gen Re Auditorium. Every request is granted, whether it's for an additional table or for technical support. With the added benefit of free parking across the street, UCONN is a terrific venue."
