WordCamps are an enormous amount of work, all done through the kindness of volunteers. For your time, we give you a free ticket (including afterparty admission and all swag items), a snazzy volunteer t-shirt, and our undying gratitude. We need help in the following areas:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Registration<\/strong> (4-8 needed)<\/em> Room Runner<\/strong> (8 needed)<\/em> Room Emcee<\/strong> (4 needed)<\/em> Room Video<\/strong> (4-8 needed)<\/em> Happiness Bar\u00a0<\/strong>(4-8 needed)<\/em> Swag Swiper<\/strong> (2-3 needed)<\/em> Social Media Maven<\/strong> (1 needed for each room each day.

\nAre you a morning person? Show up an hour early and help the check-in process run fast and friendly, so we can all start on time. You’ll also get first crack at the pastry table!<\/p>\n
\nOrganized and looking for some cardio? Room runners make sure the speakers have whatever they need, like water, power cords, video adapters … if something’s missing, they run (or walk) to get it.<\/p>\n
\nComfortable speaking in front of a group, but only for less than a minute? This is the job for you! As an MC, you’ll say a few words to introduce each speaker \u2014 and make announcements if we need to get the word out about something in real time.<\/p>\n
\nRather watch the presentation on a screen? No, not on the iPad of the person in front of you. On the viewfinder of the video camera at the back of the room! We shoot video of every talk and send it in. Eventually, it winds up on wordcamp.tv.<\/p>\n
\nDo you know the difference between a filter and an action, or an em and a rem? Come help answer questions and help show off the vaunted friendliness of the WordPress community. Some say it’s our best feature!<\/p>\n
\nOur great sponsors often provide us with some small items for attendees to take home with them. Stickers, pens, notebooks – that sort of thing. We need someone to make sure the swag table is well-stocked and when the dust settles at the end of the event, that everything is packed up for the next WordCamp.<\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019d like to have someone to post and share notes from the sessions as they happen. If you\u2019ve got the thumbs for it, you can help moderate the @wordcampstl social media accounts with your wit and wisdom.<\/p>\n
\nHelps get our attendees to where they need to be throughout the day. Knows the lay of the building and points folks to the correct rooms and venues. Answer questions about how to get ot the afterparty, which is most important. Assists registration by organizing folks by last name so we don\u2019t have anyone missing the opening sessions!<\/p>\n
\nA renaissance hunter-gatherer this role helps folks find their way to substance. Before lunch starts you\u2019ll help wrangle people toward where lunch is hosted and help those with dietary needs find their lunch orders. This job requires making grumpy faces at those folks trying to eat a lunch they didn\u2019t specify. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\nAre you a snappy snapper? We\u2019re looking for a few folks to help document our event for future generations of WordCampers. It would be great to capture the attendees and speakers throughout the day to share on the site, social media, and for promoting future WordCamp St. Louis events.<\/p>\n
\nCan’t decide which one you’d like to do? Don’t see the thing you’d really like to do? Drop us a line and let us know \u2014 and we’ll be in touch.<\/p>\n\n
