Techers Together FAQs

I submitted an event. How do I know if it’s been accepted?

All event submissions must be received at least three (3) weeks prior to the event date for consideration in calendar listings and event support. All events submitted within that time frame that meet the event guidelines will be reviewed by the CAA team. Please allow 3-5 business days for someone on our team to contact you regarding your submission.

‍

Is there a limit on the number of events I can host?

No! As long as your event is submitted within the required time frame and meets the event guidelines, you can submit multiple events that are designed to bring Techers together.

‍

My event is two weeks away. Can I still submit it?

All events must be submitted at least three (3) weeks prior to the event date. Any event submitted under this time frame is considered “short notice” and may limit options for publishing or promoting the event. CAA will review all short notice events submitted and determine their acceptance.

‍

What kind of marketing support does CAA provide for my event?

CAA will publish your event information on the CAA website’s Events Calendar. Should time permit and space is available, CAA will promote the calendar event in various channels (email, website, and social media). CAA will add a Techers Together logo, customized to your area, to the calendar listing, and make that logo available to you to help you publicize your event.



‍

Can CAA provide financial support for my event?

All Techer Together events are fully funded by the event host(s). Neither Caltech nor the Caltech Alumni Association will provide financial assistance or reimbursement for expenses associated with a Techer Together event.

‍

What if details of my event change?

Please contact info@alumni.caltech.edu with your event changes. Please allow sufficient time for CAA to update the Events Calendar.

‍

What if I need to cancel my event, what do I do?

If you need to cancel an approved and posted event, contact info@alumni.caltech.edu.



‍

Is there anything I need to do after my event is over?


Yes! Please share with the CAA team details, guests, and any photos or video your guests feel comfortable sharing. Send along any feedback or details you would like to share.
