It’s the all new, well-designed, world-renowned (at least we like to think so) 2018 WordCamp Asheville! And we are looking for some super duper volunteers to help make this year’s WordCamp one of the most epic ever! Our theme this year is all about reaching the next level as we seek to Elevate, Empower, and Engage the WordPress community. 

Who should volunteer?

  • Can you develop a visually breathtaking website?
  • Are you able to compute data without losing your cool?
  • Do you have the ability to talk to complete strangers while smiling and maintaining a pleasant disposition?

If you have ANY of the above spectacular talents, we need YOU on our WordCamp Asheville Volunteer Team!

It takes many awesome volunteers with various abilities to run a WordCamp, and we appreciate your interest!

What are some of the volunteer opportunities?

  • Registration desk
  • SWAG organization and disbursement
  • Room Facilitators
  • Food service

Why Volunteer?

By volunteering, you get to meet some of the most awesome people in the WordPress Asheville community, as well as speakers from around the country.  We will also comp half your ticket, so you save $$$. Above all, you get to contribute to a movement that is committed to keeping this Open Source project affordable and available to everyone. So, what are you waiting for? Be a team player and contact us today!

Please review the below information BEFORE you sign up.

  • You will need to commit to at least one full day – August 18th or 19th . Saturday the 18th is our busiest day and usually when we need the most help. Day preferences are available on the sign-up form.
  • On the form, please pick the areas you would be interested in volunteering, but keep in mind that spot may not be available.  Pick multiple areas.
  • Most of the help needed during the event involves setting up, registration, and session moderation.
  • You must check with your volunteer coordinator(s) upon arrival on your committed day. More information will be in the emails that we will send to approved volunteers.
  • Read our WordCamp Code of Conduct.  By applying to volunteer you are agreeing to play by these guidelines!
  • Signing up below is great, but you will get an official email from WordCamp Asheville Team when you have been assigned a role. If you do not hear from us, we thank you for your interest, but you have not been selected as a volunteer.
  • Compensation – You will receive a 50% discount on your ticket, plus an invite to a fun volunteer pre-party the week of WordCamp. This is a fun evening where we’ll provide dinner and get to hang out and meet each other before the event.

Great! How do I sign up?

Review the information below, be sure to read the code of conduct, fill in the form below all that and we’ll keep you posted.

See you at WordCamp!

P.S. After you’ve submitted the form we will contact you.  Please be patient – it might take us a day or two, especially if it’s the weekend.
