Why Volunteer?

We’re a volunteer-organized event, we only happen because people volunteer, we literally can not happen without community support. Our costs are covered by our sponsors, donors, and ticket sales. We rely on volunteers to help make the event great for everyone.

Requirements?

No experience required!

There are plenty of roles you can help out with no experience, although there are a few where we do prefer or need certain qualifications. We need help setting up the day before, during the event, and tearing down after the event.
