How exactly can you help? We will need volunteers in the following areas:
Registration – Check in registered attendees and hand out nametags. Being really awesome with alphabetical order helps here.
Happiness Bar – Answer questions and help WordPress users fix problems with their sites. Must be able to show level of expertise to be selected for this gig.
Swag and t-shirt station – Pre-conference prep work includes folding/rolling shirts and organizing swag. Handing out t-shirts and swag on the day.
Video – We need volunteers to act as camera operators. Great gig, since you can watch sessions at the same time. Video Experience REQUIRED.
Emcees – Introduce speakers/sessions and keep things running on time. Keep an eye on the clock and give speakers a heads up when they are down to 10 and 5 minutes, and let them know when their time is up. Brevity and wit a must.
Runners – Work with the emcees, video people, speakers, and everyone else to keep things running smoothly. Make sure there’s water for speakers, and provide support as needed for other event staff.
