VOLUNTEERING AT MULTIVERSE

NASA.jpg

The Multiverse 2024 Volunteer Application will open in spring 2024. Join us and be part of the team!

Multiverse could not exist without the dedicated help of the wonderful folks who volunteer their time and skills to make it all work. It’s a great way to make friends and experience the convention from the inside. All people, interests, abilities, and skill levels are welcome! Details below…

VOLUNTEER REWARDS

Volunteering offers a great way to see what goes on behind the scenes of a con, as well as make new friends and support our charitable efforts. On top of that, all volunteers who work at least 12 hours during or prior to Multiverse will receive a full 3-day membership, an exclusive Multiverse volunteer t-shirt, collectible badge, and access to the volunteers-only party after the con shuts down. 

VOLUNTEER AT-CON

If you would like to volunteer at Multiverse, but didn't get a chance to coordinate with our Volunteer Department ahead of time, we may still need your help. Stop by the Information table next to the registration area and speak with a Coordinator about how you can lend a hand.

VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENTS

PROGRAMMING

  • Panels: room monitors, moderators, etc. to make panel discussions run smoothly & on time.

  • Demonstrations & Performances: room monitors, supply runners, etc. for some really interesting events.

  • Meetups: meeting facilitators & room monitors to help attendees and guests have a great time meeting each other.

  • Gaming Hall: volunteers will coordinate demos, manage the game library check-out/check-in process, and monitor games to make sure it doesn’t get too crazy in there.

EXHIBITS

  • Dealers Room: help make sure our Dealers have everything they need to sell, sell, sell.

  • Art Show: help make our gallery-style art show a special experience. Retail experience helpful (there will be sales transactions & bookkeeping).

  • Charity Auction: acquire auction items, monitor bidding process, and tally contributions for a good cause.

VOLUNTEER SERVICES

  • Volunteer Helpers: help coordinate meetings & schedules of volunteers, handle volunteer badges & rewards, keep volunteers fed, hydrated, and rested.

EXPERIENCE

  • Opening Ceremonies: Help us plan and run the stage production as we welcome everyone and kick off Multiverse!

  • Cosplay Show: stage crew to manage the cosplayers during the show, and backstage crew to help get them organized beforehand.

  • Room parties: stop by the late-night soirees and make sure everything is in compliance (but also fun).

  • Saturday Night party: door crew to check ID, hand out wristbands, etc.

COMMUNICATIONS

  • Marketing: help us distribute cool free swag to bookstores, game shops, comic stores, and other places before the con to get the word out.

  • Advertising: if you have a background in advertising or access to influential social media audiences, we probably want to talk to you.

  • Media relations: manage the experience of reporters, bloggers, and photographers as they cover Multiverse.

  • Content updates: We want fun content going out on social media & our website nonstop during the weekend, so if that’s your thing, we can use you!

  • Photography: We love to reminisce on all the fun we have. If you’ve got an eye for snapping great shots, let us know.

LOGISTICS & OPERATIONS

  • Load-in/load-out: pretty much what it sounds like - you’ll get a workout, but it’s one of the most important parts of the convention!

  • Logistics: make sure supplies get where they need and fires get put out. Metaphorical fires, of course.

  • Registration: Keep the lines moving & get people in the front door smoothly. Customer service and organization skills are key here!

  • Guest Relations: make sure our participating Guests are taken care of; answer their questions, show them around, make sure they know where to be, and so on.

  • Con Suite: where we offer free food and drinks to attendees all weekend. If you like feeding people and making them happy, this might be your spot. ServSafe certified preferred.

  • Accessibility: help make Multiverse a truly welcoming event for our friends with disabilities.

  • Safety Team: the #1 most important aspect of Multiverse is safety for everyone involved. Help monitor entrances, check badges, enforce the Code of Conduct, and respond to incident reports. CPR cert. is a +
