In order to produce a welcoming, inclusive and friendly event at an affordable cost, we need a diverse group of organisers and volunteers with a can-do attitude! Our aim is to create an event which demonstrates the WordPress community at its most lovely, and also showcases WordPress in the South West and Wales.
Would you like to be a part of making that happen? If so, keep reading….
WordCamp Bristol 2019 needs you!
We are looking for organisers and volunteers to help us. The difference between the two:
Organising is committing to put time into organising an aspect of the event ahead of 17th May. This means you will need to have sufficient time ahead of the conference and occassionally join a catch-up video call. Specific roles are:
- Events manager for Speaker / Sponsor dinner and After Party
- Contributon day manager
- Creating content for website and social media
- Reception desk and volunteers manager
- Organising filming of talks and uploading to WordPress.tv
Volunteering is committing to turn up to the main conference days (Sat and Sun) or the contributor day (Fri) and helping out. Specific roles are:
- Filming event
- Photographing event
- Help at reception / help / swag desk
- Compere (MC) to introduce speakers and handle audience questions
- Time keepers / mic runners
- Social media
- Lead a table at the Contribution day
What do I get in return?
Mainly, what you get in return is the opportunity to be part of something special and a chance to pay back into the amazing and generous open source WordPress community.
Yes it sounds cheesy, but if you’ve been to a WordCamp before or been on an organising team you will already know exactly what we mean.
On top of that, all organisers and volunteers will, of course, be given 1 free ticket for the event, a special t-shirt and buckets of love and admiration.
I’m keen, how do I apply?
Please use our Google form to indicate what level of involvement you would like to have in helping us make this incredible event happen, either as an organiser or volunteer.
Applications will remain open until Monday 8th April 2019.
Everyone involved in organising this WordCamp is giving their time for free, putting effort in around paid work and family life, so please have patience if you do not hear back immediately. We will definitely get back to you and we would really love to hear from you! :0)
If you have any questions, please get in contact.
With love, Janice, Hannah, Rich, Rob, Simon and Ben.
PS If you’re curious to know who is already committed to being an organiser, you can read about us on the organisers page. Maybe we’ll see your face on there too?
