Volunteer for BayCon 2019
BayCon, as a fan-run organization, relies almost entirely on volunteer effort. Every single one of us contributes to BayCon in our spare time, and we have a lot of fun doing it. When you volunteer for BayCon, you receive a discounted membership for the full weekend at $30. You also have access to the staff lounge for the entirety of the convention, among other perks. It’s also a great thing to put on your résumé or college application (real world experience)!
Sound interesting to you? Come to our first all staff meeting, January 27th, 2019, at the San Mateo Marriott San Francisco Airport.
BayCon 2019 is currently looking for staff in the following areas:
- Registration
- Events
- Dealer Room and Art Show
- Hospitality
- Charity
- Convention Operations
- …and more!
Find out more about how you can get involved.
