Are you excited about WordCamp OKC and want to help make it happen? We need volunteers at the event to make it all work. Whether you like to keep things running smoothly, greet people, help serve food, answer WordPress questions, or something else we have a place for you.

Check out the volunteer roles below and submit the form if you can help. We’ll be in touch soon to work out all the details.

Oh, and be sure to look over the Volunteer Agreement just to be sure you know a bit about what you’re getting into 🙂

Registration
Are you a morning person? Show up an hour early and help the check-in process run fast and friendly, so we can all start on time.

T-shirt handout
Do you want to have a very brief conversation with most of the attendees? Handing out shirts could be the job for you. Just grab the right size and hand it over with a smile while checking a list.

Room Video
Rather watch the presentation on a screen?  No, not on the iPad of the person in front of you. On the viewfinder of the video camera at the back of the room! We shoot video of every talk and send it in. Eventually, it winds up on WordCamp.tv.

Happiness Bar
Do you know the difference between a filter and an action, or an em and a rem? Come help answer questions and help show off the friendliness of the WordPress community. Some say it’s our best feature!

Food/Beverage
Do you appreciate good meal service? You can help serve lunch, keep the snack area ready for snacking, and generally help make sure all the food stuff is good to go.

Green Room Guard
Are you willing to hang out in one place for an hour or two? Having a safe place for speakers and volunteers to leave their stuff while they run around is important. We need people to stay in this room for an hour or two at a time to guard everyone’s stuff.

Emcees
Are you comfortable in front of a crowd and good at keeping track of time? You could be a perfect emcee. You’ll introduce speakers/sessions and keep things running on time. Keep an eye on the clock and give speakers a heads up when they are down to 10 and 5 minutes, and let them know when their time is up. Brevity and wit a must.

Room Runners
Do you like to help keep things on track? If so, this is the job for you. The room runners work with the emcees, video people, speakers, and everyone else working in the room to keep things running smoothly. Make sure there’s water for speakers, and provide support as needed for other event staff.

Airport Pickups
Do you have a car and like driving? Some speakers may be flying into OKC and need to get from the airport to a hotel. While many will rent a car, for some a ride from a friendly community member would be a nice way to begin their WCOKC weekend.

Hotel Shuttle
Are you willing to pick someone up  on the way to WordCamp? Some speakers may need transportation from a hotel to WordCamp. If you have a car and don’t mind picking up someone on the way to WordCamp, this could be perfect for you.

Miscellaneous
Are you a friendly person who just likes to help? If so, this could be a perfect fit for you. We’ll plug you into whatever slot needs someone.
