Volunteer Roles¶
Writing Day¶
Assist the Writing Day coordinator, direct attendees to specific tables, and support writing day project leads with logistical questions.
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.
Catering¶
Set up catering, replenish beverages and snacks, and notify venue staff of coffee refills and cleaning needs.
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!
