re:connect is a large conference with 200 delegates, 4 tracks, 17 speakers & 9 workshops all spread across 5 different locations.
Because of the mechanics of running a conference like this, and making sure our delegates have the best experience possible, we require volunteers to help us coordinate the event.
Volunteers are needed to do the following tasks (they could be asked to do any or all of these on the day):
- Checking in attendees at registration and workshops
- Answering attendee questions and providing directions.
- Assisting with navigating around the conference venue.
- Providing assistance to speakers.
- Acting as a photographer.
- Putting up signs/posters throughout the venue.
- Setting up rooms for the workshops, and checking equipment is working.
- Support to advertise the event beforehand.
- Session Chairpersons to introduce a speaker and chair Q&A sessions
- Technical Support
What skills, experience and attributes do I need?
Along with having great communication and interpersonal skills, we ask that you are:
- Friendly and enthusiastic about creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone
- Willing to work as part of a team.
If you have specific technical skills and experience such as setting-up/using audio-visual equipment or anything else you think might be particularly useful then please let us know when you apply. We will do our best to align you with a volunteer role that suits you.
How much time will I be expected to give?
A minimum of 2 hours dedicated to volunteering on the day
We would also require you to be available between the hours of 8am and 6pm.
What can I expect in return?
A Free ticket to the event.
