Volunteer Information

Our volunteer application is coming soon! We are looking for volunteers to provide support with a variety of conference roles - registration, Unconference, stage support, catering, load out, and more.

Each individual assigned for two or more 3-4 hour shifts receives a free ticket to the conference.

Volunteer Roles

Registration

  • Check in attendees, provide general information inquiries, answer venue questions, and field other requests or direct individuals to the correct staff member who can provide support.

Stage Support

  • Assist presenters while on stage - troubleshoot issues with slides, video, or audio portions of their presentation. Please apply for this role if you have some A/V knowledge; it is not required, but experience with different operating systems is a plus!

Unconference

  • Assist the Unconference coordinator, help folks sign up to host a session, maintain an updated schedule, direct individuals and groups to their tables, and keep tables looking neat.

Venue Load Out

  • What’s more fun than setting things up? Taking them down! Load out conference set up and leave the conference hall better than we found it.

Will travel assistance be provided?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer travel assistance to volunteers. We encourage you to apply for the Opportunity Grant. View grant application here!
