What tasks will I be asked to do?
- Help with conference set-up: place signage, assemble name badges, and other tasks
- Assist with attendee check-in
- Assist at the Help Desk
- Help direct attendees to where they need to be
- Stand-by to assist workshop hosts and presenters
- Help with final day packing
Will I be able to attend sessions?
Yes.
On any day that you volunteer, when you are off-duty, you may attend any and all sessions.
When on-duty, 15 minutes after the start of a session, if your assistance is not needed, you are welcome to join a session. We ask that you leave 5 minutes before the end of that session so that you are at your post at the conclusion of the session.
When will I know if I have been selected?
You will be contacted within a few days of submitting your application. If you are selected, you will be given instructions on how to receive your discounted registration of $209.
Confirmed volunteers will receive additional information and virtual training in late August, including receiving the final volunteer schedule.
Since none of the jobs require a specific skill set, you will receive your assignment from the team captain when you arrive. It is very important you arrive on time for your shift.
