Nope, not yet ... maybe I'll start this year!

 

[stunreefer]

This one is going to be great - definitely won't miss it!

This would be a good year to start, We've been doing this conference now for 12 years and I think we finally got it perfect this year..

 

[SaraB]

Okay, I'll consider it for sure ... got to check my calendar!

We are looking for Volunteers to help out working the floor during the conference, checking in people, setting up, tearing down, doing security, etc. In exchange for at least 5 hours of your time over the weekend volunteers will get:

$5 Discount on their ticket
2 Free Conference Shirt ( to wear during the event )
Access to the Speaker and Volunteer Lounge
And a Secret Saturday evening surprise that makes the rest of the stuff seem worthless.

We can split up your time between the days or you can do it all in one day. If you are interest please send me a PM and I will get you the information on how to get your discount.
