Volunteer Information

Our volunteer sign up form is open. We are looking for volunteers to provide support with a variety of conference roles - registration, Writing Day, Unconference, float, catering, load out, and more.

Completing this form signs you up to volunteer. We will close the form once volunteer capacity is reached. Another form will be sent out once the speaker schedule is released.

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