mrbee2828 June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 I'm willing to help out before and after each day. I paid and want to enjoy one of these event as I'm always working it, but would be willing to help early morning or late at night. As you know I have done MAMAX for 3 years now and I have done design and tech conferences. I've done all the recruiting for vendors and sponsors, worked with speakers, delt with equipment rental, power structure, do our own website programing, shirt design ... I do 100% of it. I filled out the survey, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS June 14, 2015 Author Share June 14, 2015 As mentioned before, we have come up with a volunteer reward schedule for people that volunteer. This schedule is provided below. Please keep in mind that this isn't meant to be a form of payment for helping as you could put significantly more in your pocket by working a minimum wage job. This is really just a way for the club to to express appreciation and thank those who help to make the event feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinus88 June 15, 2015 Share June 15, 2015 Looking forward to helping out. There was no place for additional comments on the survey but I have an another volunteer that is not a member. We would want to volunteer for the same times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would want to volunteer for the same times though. What I did for my Dad is I put my screen name and made a note ("Squishie89- Her father") something like that. Hopefully they aren't mad I did that =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are up to 25 responses, about 18 of which are good. Remember, if you don't select times and roles, we may be limited in how we can use your help! Thanks.

Huly June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Finally just took the time to fill out me & pez lol. Thursday is out for us (Redskins game) but always here to help otherwise. Also if we need extra hands let me know as we have my parents who are retired and enjoy helping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS June 22, 2015 Author Share June 22, 2015 Thanks for the additional responses everyone- especially to the out of towners who are visiting for MACNA. Very generous to donate part of your vacation to help out! We have a number of survey responses but some don't provide times or roles. Looking over the responses briefly, I would say we have about 25 people volunteering for multiple shifts. While we will take all the help we can get, having people help for multiple shifts is really what we are hoping for as that reduces training needs and confusion of tasks. I would estimate that we have about 1/3 of the staffing that we need. Factoring in that some volunteers, however well intentioned, may not show up or stay as long as indicated, we may really be at 1/4 of what we need. Keep the signups coming! We will start to work on a preliminary schedule soon to see how we are doing on help. Finally just took the time to fill out me & pez lol. Thursday is out for us (Redskins game) but always here to help otherwise. Also if we need extra hands let me know as we have my parents who are retired and enjoy helping out. Yes, extra hands would be great. You can just fill the surveys out for your parents and indicate they are your parents in the field for scree name. No promises but we can try to schedule things so your shifts line up if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer_Madness June 23, 2015 Share June 23, 2015 If our situation changes and we are able to volunteer more time that originally indicated on the survey, should we fill out the survey again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malacoda June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 Which two days does it look like help will be needed most on right now? Being a complete newbie who's never been to one before, I'd like the chance to spend at least one day as an attendee. I'll be happy to serve as a volunteer for the other two. Just let me know which two days you're most short-handed on and I'll select them when I fill out the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS June 27, 2015 Author Share June 27, 2015 If our situation changes and we are able to volunteer more time that originally indicated on the survey, should we fill out the survey again? Yes, that is a fine way to increase your availability. Which two days does it look like help will be needed most on right now? Being a complete newbie who's never been to one before, I'd like the chance to spend at least one day as an attendee. I'll be happy to serve as a volunteer for the other two. Just let me know which two days you're most short-handed on and I'll select them when I fill out the survey. Right now we only have about 1/3rd the needed staffing so we are short on ALL the days. Hopefully that will change and we can do as you ask. I would just fill out the survey and indicate which times you are willing to offer. There are a couple of places to enter free form notes so you can indicate any requests in the free form area. We will try our best to honor the request and make everyone happy. Thanks all!

Origami June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 Here's the volunteer compensation / reward schedule again. If you can give a few hours to the MACNA project, please do so. We really need your help. Get a T-shirt, get raffle tickets, get a free year of WAMAS membership, get reimbursed for a conference pass... just volunteer. Take the volunteer survey.

treesprite July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 Im confused. I thought the conference was just the weekend, but the entire week is listed on the survey. Are those days for pre-conference prep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 Yes, Forrest. Activity starts on Tuesday as bags are stuffed and 2/3 of the exhibition hall is set up with pipe and drape. On Wednesday, the last third of the hall is set up and about half of the exhibitors will move in. The final half of the exhibitors move in on Thursday. Then, the conference goes Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is also the day that the exhibition hall must be broken down and vacated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
