Volunteer Opportunities
We have designed the volunteer roles to ensure that, while you are contributing your time, you can still experience the conference as a delegate. Volunteers will only be required to be available for one day; the second day will provide full delegate access to the event. Our goal is to minimise time away from sessions so you can enjoy the conference while supporting its delivery.
