The Professional Development Center

The Professional Development Center (PDC) is a resource for over 50 departments and has expanded its services to include assistance with workshops, conferences, and other events that often require time consuming and taxing registration processes.  Bring your lunch and join us for a lunch and learn, as we share how the PDC can serve as your event management and promotion tool.  Topics to be covered include:

• Registration – Attendees register online. 
• Information Management - Collect demographic information, lunch preferences, special needs, accommodations, and other required information.
• Rosters - Download daily rosters, which include registrants, preferences, and any additional logistical data you wish to collect.
• Credit Card Payments – Ability to charge different rates based on registrants affiliation. Payments will be deposited into departmental accounts.
• Publicity / Promotion - the web site ( http://pdc.wfu.edu ) receives hundreds of visitors per day, maintains an e-mail list with over 3000 recipients, and has the option of automatically advertising events on the University calendar.
