As WisCon approaches, we still have some open volunteer shifts that we are hoping to fill before the convention starts. These opportunities will allow you to meet new people, explore interests, possibly add new skills, and help make the convention the best it can be!
A/V could use three people to help with set-up and during special events: the Tiptree Auction on Saturday and GoH speeches on Sunday, plus one other person to help when needed.
On Friday night, we need one or more people to head the First WisCon Dinner, an informal meet and greet for people attending the convention for the first time and anyone else interested. The group meets outside the Wisconsin ballroom after the first panels end 5:15-5:30 and heads to a local restaurant for dinner together.
Access could use some help with blue-taping in the mornings during the convention and before special events.
The Tiptree Auction still needs runners for during the bidding.
The Tiptree Bake Sale could use help on Saturday after the sale with breakdown from 3-4 pm and some extra hands during their busy time from 11:30 am-2 pm.
Sign-out on is looking for a couple more volunteers on Monday from 10-30 until the end.
Registration has shifts open on Saturday and Sunday.
The ConSuite has openings throughout the convention, please check in at the ConSuite to sign up for open shifts.
Childcare also often needs help, you can stop by during open hours to see if and when they need help.
We will have additional and emergency needs posted on the volunteer board near registration beginning Friday morning, If you are arriving on Thursday or early Friday and want to help with set-up, you can stop by registration or the volunteer board to see how you can help.
All volunteers receive a special commemorative thank you gift. If you volunteer six or more hours during the convention, you are eligible for a $20 refund on your membership fee as funds allow.
If you can help us out, or for more information, please contact us at volunteers@wiscon.net.
Thank you!
