Call for Volunteers
The volunteer program is designed to be highly accessible and is particularly well-suited for students and enthusiasts looking to contribute to the web. While it is open to a variety of participants, the structure specifically supports those who are still learning or who may face financial constraints. If you are thinking about volunteering for the first time it's fairly simple.
Please submit your application by March 15, Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
Important note: If your application is approved, your volunteer registration cannot be used as an "author registration", which is required to have one's paper in the conference proceedings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Volunteers?
Volunteers typically are people with an involvement in the World Wide Web who are interested in experiencing the conference but otherwise could not afford to attend. The program is particularly well-suited for students and enthusiasts looking to break into the industry, and while open to all, students are strongly encouraged to apply. We are looking for people with a background in building and running networks, good communication skills, and reliability.
What can I expect to do at the conference?
Various tasks will be assigned, but mostly volunteers will be supporting the speakers in the chat room they are assigned.
What qualification do I need?
You don't have to be an expert! Students and enthusiasts work alongside industry professionals. Enthusiasm and interest are important qualities. You must have a good attitude and a love of the web but you definitely don't need a degree in computer science. The conference is a great place to learn more about web development and authoring but this kind of experience is not particularly relevant to volunteering.
What do I get?
Volunteers receive conference registration for the duration of the conference. You will be required to work a fixed number of hours in exchange. There will be a flexible roster system that will allow you to schedule your work commitments and to attend the parts of the conference that interest you.
How do I apply?
More details and the application form are available on the Volunteers application page. If you already made an application, you may still edit it.
Please submit your application by March 15, Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
