Call for Volunteers

Running a conference is a big job, and we need your help! It takes 50+ volunteers to keep our virtual and in-person programs running smoothly. As a volunteer for our 2024 Conference, you’ll help with a range of needs like conference setup, passing out name badges, and greeting attendees at sessions and events.

In return for your time, we offer perks like a free limited edition Proud Museum Person t-shirt, up to 100% off registration, and access to a staff and volunteer office/lounge at the conference hotel. Of course, the true benefit of volunteering is having the perfect excuse to say “hello” to everyone you see!

We are now accepting volunteer applications through May 10, or until all positions are filled. Consider applying to help in one of the following capacities:

·     Zoom Breakout Room Moderator (Virtual)
