re:connect is a large conference with 200+ attendees, 1 track, 7 sessions and 3 keynotes.
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.

- Answering attendee questions and providing directions.
- Assisting with navigating around the conference venue.
- Providing assistance to speakers.
- Acting as a photographer or videographer.
- Putting up signs/posters throughout the venue.
- Setting up the venue and checking the equipment is working.
- Support to advertise the event beforehand.
- Session Chairpersons to introduce a speaker and chair Q&A sessions
- Technical Support
- Tidying up after the event
- Supporting our sponsors/partners on the day, and much more…
What skills, experience and attributes do I need?
Along with having great communication and interpersonal skills, we ask that you be:
- 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 audiovisual equipment or anything else you think might be particularly useful, 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.
