Unfortunately, we are now sold out of tickets, and we still have a waitlist of about 75 people, and its safe to say at this point, no one is going to get off the waitlist. We are at capacity.
But WordCamp is about more than just attending sessions- it’s a social event. Be amongst the other enthusiasts, attend the receptions, be part of the atmosphere, witness the stunts. And who makes that happen? Volunteers.
So, if you you’re not attending this year, but still want to see in person all the crazy stunts we have planned, hobnob with the peeps, and be part of it, then this is how: volunteer. The best part? If you volunteer in 2010, you will get to purchase your tickets for 2011 before anyone else. You’re pretty much guaranteed a ticket.
What does volunteering entail?
- Helping set up WordCamp, tables, decor, swag bags, room set ups
- Run registration
- Help direct attendees
- Help mic speakers, help run A/V, ensure sessions start and end on time
- Help prep food throughout the day
- Shepard attendees in the right direction
- Hand out giveaways
Don’t get me wrong, you’ll be AT WordCamp, chances are you’ll hear some sessions, you’ll get to be part of the crowd, and attend the social events. Plus, there is the coolness factor of being in the know on many things the attendees will only see as surprises. But it is work, and its not hard work, but a long day. Day starts at 6am, and ends at 7pm (after which we’re all headed right to the Asgard). We only have a certain number of volunteer slots, so if you’re interested, please sign up today!
In return you will get:
- A really nice hoodie
- Some other pretty nice swag
- Coffee
- Lunch
- Endless admiration from everyone around you
- Premiere placement on the waitlist for WordCamp 2011 (you’ll get the first crack at tickets for next year, before anyone else)
Like a groupie? sure why not! As long as its not slave labor, Im used to sitting at a desk all day. I just want to experience… stuff.
Haha, it’ll still be fun, and there are good rewards:) No slave labor…. we’re not working with power tools or building anything:) I think the most intense thing you’ll be doing is filling sack lunches:)
