Being a volunteer is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. It gives you the opportunity to meet and speak with attendees from all over the world, help out with speakers, organisers and much more. And volunteering is important because without you, the volunteers, WordCamp Vienna couldn’t be as successful and accessible as it is.
WordCamp volunteers need no previous experience. All you need is energy, enthusiasm, the ability to think on your feet, and a love for the WordPress community.
You won’t be doing one thing all day, and you can pause your volunteer duties to see any specific conference talks you want.
If you would like to volunteer don’t buy a ticket just yet, as volunteers get a free one.
As a volunteer at WordCamp Vienna, you will:
- Get an inside look at the planning stages of the conference
- Be an essential part of the event on the day
- Have the opportunity to meet interesting WordPress people
- Be on the ground, meeting WordCamp attendees from all over the world
- Receive an exclusive, volunteer-only t-shirt
- Receive kudos for your time, attention and efforts
