Attend a Workshop or Training

Eventcat

Eventcat is a self-service reservation platform for Northwestern-specific events and training. Access and use of Eventcat is limited to active members of the Northwestern community and requires a valid NetID.

How to Use EventCat

  1. Click on the button above to access Eventcat.
  2. If you are not already logged in, log in with your NetID and NetID password.
  3. If it is your first time accessing Eventcat, you will be prompted by SharePoint to allow the use of information associated with your NetID – your name and email address – to be able to send you information about the event for which you have registered. Click “Allow” when prompted.
  4. Use the drop-down filters at the top of the page to select the type of workshop or event you would like to attend.
  5. From the Details page, scroll down to the section titled “Register for this event.” Input the requested information and click the Register button. Upon registration, you will receive an email confirmation and an Outlook invitation with either a Zoom link (if virtual) or the event location (if in-person).
  6. Accept the Outlook invite to confirm your registration.
  7. If you need to cancel your registration at any time, please decline the Outlook registration.

Note: At this time, Eventcat is only being used for standard workshop offerings; larger, one-off events (like TEACHx) will still be found on Eventbrite. If you have questions or need any assistance, email canvas@northwestern.edu.
