If you’re interested in volunteering for the 2014 Guelph Organic Conference, please visit the Conference website (www.guelphorganicconf.ca) and access the “Please Volunteer” tab. General information is available under the first link and an application form under the second link.
The conference is seeking volunteers for all days – particularly Saturday and Sunday for a variety of duties. Experienced Audio/Visual personnel are a particular need. The Conference’s AV technician, Alex Ricci, describes the duties as the following:
“A/V volunteers will be responsible for assisting presenters in setting up for PowerPoint presentations by linking computers to projectors, connecting sound equipment and microphones, and in between sessions, supervising the equipment. They will solve simple technical issues while being friendly and helpful to presenters, allowing them to relax before their session.”
