WisCon is for the attendees, by the attendees. Nearly everyone who works on the convention is an attendee who’s volunteering their time—and you can do the same!
If being a staff member and planning the convention isn’t your speed, you can also contribute by volunteering during the convention. Doing so helps make the convention happen and means that more people get to enjoy it.
You’ll make a direct contribution to staff joy, by giving them free time to enjoy the convention instead of pulling double duty.

For WisCon 2026, we need people to fill virtual volunteer roles during the convention.  Such as:

• • Discord Moderator
    Excellent as they are, our Online Con Team has not yet learned the trick of being omnipresent. You’ll get to work with bots (the helpful kind, not the spam kind) and keep the Online Con Team informed if needed.
  • Production Assistant
    Like a virtual backstage manager, you might help ensure everything’s in place for programming and events. This role is a great way to build your Zoom proficiency and also provides the opportunity to attend panels while volunteering. Training and a step-by-step run sheet with emergency contacts will be provided.

To volunteer, email onlinecon@wiscon.net
