Volunteers Are AWESOME! PDF  | Print |  Email

August 25th, 2010

Be more than just an attendee at PodCamp Pittsburgh this year: Become a PCPGH5 volunteer!

Volunteers are needed to help with registration, food set up and clean up, hallway monitoring (pointing people in the right direction), and new this year: chat room monitors.

Each session will be live-streamed with a chat room for virtual attendees and we need someone in each session to monitor the chat room for questions and comments from viewers to make sure everyone can interact with the presentation. Your role as a chat room monitor will help the speaker’s presentation go smoothly and you’ll be able to take a more interactive roll in your favorite sessions.

As a volunteer, you will receive high-fives from the organizers and a really sweet t-shirt that will distinguish you from everyone else.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please sign up on the Google Doc for a time slot. You may not be required to work for the entire time slot, but we want to make sure we have enough people on hand at all times.

Volunteers will be invited to a special PodCamp Prep Evening on Wednesday, September 15 where you can pick up your t-shirt, help stuff VIP swag bags, and assist in getting our print materials ready for the event.

If you have any questions about volunteering for PCPGH5, please contact Jennie.

August 23rd, 2010

As with past PodCamp Pittsburgh events, we intend to start the weekend’s festivities off with a meet n’ greet event.  Want to meet some of this year’s speakers?  How about some of our awesome organizers?  Maybe you’re interested in chatting up some of the other attendees?  No matter what your motivations, you should definitely join us.

This year’s meet n’ greet will be held at AlphaLab in Pittsburgh’s SouthSide.  We love the folks over at Alpha Lab, and are genuinely grateful that they are willing to (yet again) open their space for us.  Things kick off at 7:00 p.m. and will wrap up at 9:00 p.m.

Drinks this year will be provided by the guys over at Should I Drink That (beer), and by the ladies of BitchBurgh (wine).  There will also be non-alcoholic beverages available.  This year’s meet n’ greet menu will include tasty deliciousness from Las Velas.   

If you’re attending this year’s PodCamp, this is where you definitely want to be on Friday, September 17th!  We look forward seeing you there.
