Logistics

Event Material Management

Logistics handles materials sent to conferences, exhibits, and events at Michigan State University—housing them in a secure, climate-controlled environment. Our team will receive, store, and deliver your materials to the event, as well as pick up and schedule return delivery via your predetermined carrier. All shipments being sent back to you require an affixed, pre-paid return shipping label.

Track your shipment(s) on the carrier's website to see if it was delivered to MSU. Once received on campus, packages can be tracked by entering your carrier's tracking number (UPS, FedEx, etc.) in our U-Track system. Please bring your tracking number to the event.

MSU departments who are interested in using our Event Material Management services are asked to email Susan Fennell, Logistics operations supervisor, or call (517) 884-6202 in advance of the event.
