The Office of University Events is responsible for the event and planning services, speakers series, commencement, and academic excellence events. The Office of University Events was formerly known as the Office of Conferences and Special Events, and later as the Office of Special Events.

Begun in 1987, the Distinguished Speakers Series is an annual program run by the Office of University Events in which various experts, celebrities, and other public figures speak to the University at Buffalo and Western New York communities. The Minority Faculty and Staff Association began the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration event in 1976, to take place February of each year, as a celebration of the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. The Distinguished Speakers Series was combined with the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Event in 2001.
