WWW9 Volunteers
Newsletter #2
Welcome to Newsletter #2. The Volunteer's registration form is now online and anyone interested in working for WWW9 should fill it out and submit as soon as possible.Volunteers will be involved in helping to run the conference Network and Audiovisual so we are looking for people with specific skills in these areas. Positions will be limited so use the form to tell us as much as you can about your qualifications. Please include a resume if you have one as well. Before submitting a form make sure you read carefully the other Newsletter and FAQ so you are aware of how the process works and exactly what you are getting into.
Once again we will be offering scaled levels of participation, you can sign up to work for Conference Registration, Accommodation and Registration or Accommodation only. The number of hours required to work for each level will be worked out shortly and you will be advised of what your obligation will be when we notify you of your acceptance. The first batch of acceptances will go out early November. If you are accepted you will receive regular updates by email and you will be asked to submit an information form to tell us about your work and accommodation preferences.
As the conference gets closer we will supply you with a roster for the week. You will have an opportunity to advise us of the times that you don't want to work so you will be able to attend the conference sessions that you want to.
We try wherever possible to offer a flexible roster system to achieve a balance between work commitments and experiencing the content of the conference.The Volunteer team for Amsterdam will be smaller than Toronto, so Registrations are opening earlier than usual and will only be available for a short time. The final team will be a mixture of new and experienced volunteers with as many Amsterdam locals as possible. Local Volunteers who don’t need accommodation work fewer hours.
So keep checking this space for further newsletters and updates, study the Conference Schedule as it becomes available and hurry and get your registration form to us. If you have any questions, you can contact me at jmiller@scu.edu.au.
