Partnering in Entertainment and Education

Throughout the years Cal Poly’s Conference and Event Planning team has worked alongside a diverse cast of clients striving to put on unique, individualized experiences for their attendees. And, whether it’s the weather, the facilities, the wine country, the beach or the actual event curriculum – we like to think it’s the world class service – year after year, they come back.

Live Events

Live events come in all shapes and sizes and so do our venues. Cal Poly is home to a Division I football program and the largest college rodeo in the nation, both of which happen in the same stadium. For the more acoustically conscious we offer the stunning 1,286-seat Performing Arts Center. Then there is a plethora of smaller, intimate indoor and outdoor options. The ideal venue is right here.
