Have you wanted to see what is takes to set up the Nuke-Con? Have you wanted to help out and see what is takes to be a part of the Con? Sign up as a Volunteer and see what we have going on!
We need people during the Weekend of Games to help with these jobs:
Set up
This happens the morning of the convention. Put signs on tables and signposts; prepare Game Reg, Prize Vault, and special event areas; help vendors bring their displays and products into the convention space.
People are needed Friday from around 10 am to open.
Runner
Runners are one way the staff at headquarters keeps in touch with the rest of the convention. Runners check in with the other staff, guests, and other organizations, to make sure their weekend is going well. A runner might run errands for people (at the convention – no need to leave the space!) or keep watch at a booth while the vendor gets something to eat. They check the convention spaces to make sure trash cans aren’t full, that we have plenty of water, that chairs are pushed in and trash is picked up, and that the entire space is generally tidy.
People are needed throughout the weekend for an hour or so at a time. Ideally, we would like 2-3 people to be available during the busiest hours of the convention.
Friday open to 8pm
Saturday 9am to 8pm
Sunday 9am to 5pm
Tear Down
At the end of the weekend we need to put everything back in the box that it came in. During Tear Down we take the signs down; pack up the Prize Vault, Game Reg, and the special event areas; generally tidy up throughout the convention space; help vendors move their gear back to their cars. It’s a frantic but vital activity.
We need people starting about 5:30 pm and going until we’re done, no later than 7 pm.
We’ll talk about some other jobs in Parts 2 and 3 later this week.
If you’d like to help out, please contact volunteers@nuke-con.com.
