Call for Volunteers

We’re looking for you!

We’re organizing the WordCamp Bern on September 9th, 2017 and a WordCamp depends on volunteers to be a success. WordCamp Bern is an affordable and independent event because of the important work done by great volunteers like you! You can support WordCamp Bern by becoming a volunteer during a few hours.

Help is needed for many different tasks from:

  • helping at the registration desk
  • introducing speakers and making sure they have water
  • mic running (for questions at the end of each presentation)
  • video recording of the sessions and making shorter videos for social media

Whatever you can bring, be part of an amazing experience sign up below.

AS A VOLUNTEER, YOU WILL:

  • Get a free ticket to the event
  • Be an essential part of the event on the day
  • Spend quality time with the WordCamp organising team
  • Have the opportunity to meet speakers and sponsors
  • Attend a volunteers’ dinner
  • Receive an exclusive, volunteer-only t-shirt

 

We need your help – AKA Call for Organisers

We have secured a venue and date for the next Swiss WordCamp in Bern. We need a bit more help to be able to make this a great event. We need help with the following items:

We also need help with organizing the event.

  • We will be organising an “after party” for the attendees to be able to socialize after the event. Let us know if you have a recommendation for a location in Bern where we can serve drinks and snacks to about 100 to 150 people. We need help planning the party and getting quotes from restaurants.
  • We need catering for the lunch on the day of the conference.  Some of us are planning to attend the Street Food Festival in Bern on 19th or 20th May. We need help organising the catering.
  • As a little thank you to the speakers, sponsors and volunteers we will organizing a dinner of Friday evening before the event. We need help organising this event too.
  • So that everyone knows about the event we need some marketing. This would involve helping with regular social media, writing posts and getting articles in the local newspapers.
