WordCamp Brisbane is less than 30 days away (tickets here if you need an extra reminder), and we need your help! Not only do we need you to tell your friends about how awesome WordCamp is, but we need a bunch of you to help us make everything run smoothly on the weekend!
I know I want to apply, I don’t need convincing!
You’ve heard it all before I’m sure, but as we like to remind you at every WordPress Meetup – We’re all volunteers, the organisers and even the speakers!
We all do it because we care about WordPress and love the community that we call home.
So here’s your chance to give back! By volunteering you ensure that WordCamp Brisbane is an event that no-one will forget as it’ll run smoothly and everything will just “work”!
What do we need help with I hear you ask? Well, in short, everything!
- Registration Desk – You know those happy friendly faces you see every time you get to an event? They’re volunteers, and they help register you, get your lanyard, give you any swag, and many other small tasks
- Directions – No-one quite knows where to go, and that includes us! (only kidding.. maybe..). We’ll need people who can scour the venue (we’ll give you a rough tour) and can direct everyone else on the important details like; Where is the Coffee?! (and then where the Toilets are!).
- Room Managers, Time keepers, Door Guards, AV staff – We’ll need a bunch of people to help make both of our session rooms run smoothly. We’ll need someone who can make sure everyone knows what’s happening, that the Speakers have been mic’d up correctly, and that no-one makes a loud entrance half way through the session!
- Emcees – Are you good at public speaking? How would you like to run a room for a few sessions? We’re talking things like introducing speakers, letting everyone know what’s up next (or what amazing thing they just missed in the previous talk!) and letting everyone know about any important notices from the WordCamp organisers.
- Photography – Are you good with a camera? We sure aren’t! (I mean, We’re probably busy elsewhere!). We’ll need people who love taking photos to roam around all day taking photos to share with future Attendees. Things like large attendee crowds & action shots of speakers.
- Did we forget something? Of course we have. We need volunteers for all sorts of things, many of which we may not have even realised yet. If you think there’s something you can do to make the weekend run smoother, we want your help! just let us know!
While we don’t expect you to work 24/7, a few people can make a large task small and painless. You’ll have our everlasting appreciation, and you’ll get to meet plenty of fellow attendees at the same time!
