On site volunteer tasks for 140conf

On the day of the 140 Conference Smalltown, we will all have to work together! Luckily, we're all small town people, so we are naturally inclined to help. :)

Here is a list of volunteer tasks:
  • registration: check people in, provide materials, answer questions.
  • media assistants: help the attending media people with rooms, running, questions, etc.
  • runners: carry messages, items, go for.
  • speaker wranglers: make sure next speakers are lined up in front row, ready to go. Send runners to find anyone MIA, coordinate with registration desk as speakers check in.  
  • video operators and assistants: work with theatre staff, operate cameras, monitor sound recording. Need one person to be head/director/manager for audio/video.
  • drivers from the hotel to/from reception on Sunday night
  • drivers from hotel to theatre Monday morning
  • drivers to Cosmo Monday after the conference
  • drivers back to hotel from the Cosmo in the evening
If you can pitch in, speak up in the comments! Shellie Couch and Laura Girty have taken on wrangling volunteers, and she will be the one trying to make sense of all this. You can email them at shellie.couch+volunteer@gmail.com or lgirty@ruralenterprises.com

I have a separate post of things that can be done from anywhere, and other things that locals can help with.

But put me on any of the other detail you want - I will be there early Sunday eve! OR better yet - I would be happy to make a running list of everyone who has volunteered and make a log of what we all can/will do for you so that will be organized!! Will work on it today! Laura
