A number of functions at Nuke-Con involve people-facing work, handling money, and using the computer programs that we’ve developed.
Registration
Registration is the first stop for our guests when they come into the convention space.
Some guests will already have paid for their badges and the volunteers will only need to hand out badge packets (and sometimes tshirts or other merch). Some guests will buy their badges at the door, and volunteers at this position will be taking payment (cash or Square) and entering the guests’ data into our system. Anyone at the Registration desk will be fielding questions from gamers throughout the weekend.
Since Pre-Reg and Registration are actually two different jobs, let us know which one you’d be more comfortable with.
Game Registration
This is where gamers actually sign up for games, and it’s where GMs receive their table rosters and prize Rads. It’s another place where people come to ask questions about the events and about the convention in general. Game Reg takes care of the schedules, assigns the tables, helps find games for people who are looking, and tracks it all for future planning. Volunteers at Game Registration need to be detail oriented and they will work with our proprietary system.
Prize Vault
Playing a game is its own reward, right? No? Well, we also have the Prize Vault.
Every scheduled game at Nuke-Con receives a certain number of Rads to be distributed among the players; the GMs also receive Rads to thank them for their time. The Prize Vault is where people come to spend their Rads on game-related treasures both large and small. This job is mostly watching as people examine the prizes, clarifying how many Rads each prize costs, and taking the Rads in exchange for the prize.
There is some crossover training among Reg, Game Reg, and Prize Vault.
