We currently only use three event types. Indoor event request, Outdoor event request and Tabling. The different event centers on campus got together to come up with a list of questions that fit all venues. We used to have 10 to 15 different event types, that we found requestors would ignore 99% of the time. We have other event types we use for academic purposes but for events, those three have been working nicely.
We do have a 4th event type for departments that own their own space (conference rooms, etc) called "Departmental Event" so they don't have to answer the same questions and can quickly book the space they need.
If you want more details, please feel free to reach out and I am happy to chat about it with you.

Subject: Event Management System Reservation Types
Hello All,
We are working on improving our event management system, 25Live. Right now we are trying to boil down our event reservation types. We currently have a break down such as tabling, meeting, info session, etc. but are wanting it to be more concise (preferably less than 10 types). What do you all use?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Jessica
