The volunteer application is now live on our website. We would love to welcome people to come help make the magic happen! If you have any questions that are not answered here, please contact us volunteers@orycon.org

Here are some of the departments are looking for more help:

• Info desk*: serve as a friendly face helping people figure out the con.

• Hospitality: help make sure our staff, volunteers, and attendees are taken care of.

• Green Room: help make sure our panelists and special guests are taken care of.

• Registration: get the badges to the people.

• Game Library: keep the games library orderly and help people check out games.

• Logistics: help set up and take down the con on Wednesday and Sunday. Great for people who like physical jobs and working for con but not during it.

• Door Guards: monitor doors and verify people can go where they need to go.

Any attendee can volunteer for an hour or more to contribute to making our con great and get a peek at how we go about running this thing. If you can commit to working 12 or more hours, you can qualify for a discounted staff badge.
