Like all WordCamps, sponsors and volunteers are critical to making WordCamp for Publishers an affordable community event. The real cost of each attendee can be hundreds of dollars, but thanks to your support, we are able to offer tickets for just $40.
The volunteer survey is open through July.
Here’s a short list of some roles volunteers will fill:
- They will serve at the registration table, welcoming attendees as they arrive.
- They will distribute t-shirts and swag to attendees.
- They will serve as room managers, guards and runners, helping keep the speaker tracks on schedule.
- They will serve in the Happiness Bar, providing tech support to attendees.
- They will welcome attendees to other conference events like the brewery tour and baseball game and help everyone have a good time.
- Generally help ensure the event is a positive experience that embraces the code of conduct.
Thanks to the layout of the facility, you’ll never be far from the action, and volunteer assignments tend to be on the shorter side (typically a single 2-3 hour shift). Prior to the event, we will be sharing additional information about shifts, responsibilities, and other logistics with volunteers in a private channel on Slack.
Ticket sales for WordCamp for Publishers are still open. Volunteers may be eligible for a free or discounted ticket; contact us via email with ‘Volunteers’ in the subject line after you’ve filled out the survey.
