Volunteer Information
Being a volunteer is a great way of giving back to the WordPress community and a chance a lot of great people that normally you might not have had a chance to talk to.
- We usually try to break most volunteer requests into (1) before the event (2) during the event. Either way we try to ask only for a few hours of help from our volunteers. During the event would mean it’s preferred for volunteers to be generally available March 16th-18th, 2018. March 17th is our busiest day and usually when we need the most help – even if you’re needed only briefly. If you are not available during one of those days, please let us know in advance.
- On the signup form, please pick something you would be interested in volunteering in but keep in mind we might not pick you for this. So pick multiple things.
- DURING the event what we usually need the most help in:
- Setting Up
- Registration
- Room “MCs” (keeping speakers on time)
- Crowd control during key times
- Helping with food
- Cleaning Up
- You must check-in on the day of the event(s) with your volunteer coordinator(s). More information will be in the emails we’ll be sending to approved volunteers.
- Volunteers adhere to our code of conduct.
- You will get an official email from WordCamp Miami Team when you have been selected. Don’t show up on the day of the event saying you are a volunteer… we won’t have the special name badge for you!
