When
and how you can expect to hear from us:
We will begin contacting and organizing volunteers about a month before the
Expo,
around Sept. 12-15. We will not be able to give you any
guarantee or
information before then on whether your scheduling needs and ours are a
good match. The answer is very likely "Yes," but that is not a
promise.
Paid
Registrants Not Eligible
One
of the purposes of offering free registrations to volunteers
is to
provide a means of entry for those who truly cannot afford the price of
an Expo registration. Therefore, If you have already
purchased an Expo registration and tickets, they will NOT be refunded
to allow you to volunteer. We are sorry for any inconvenience
to
you.
Green
Room and VIP Staffing–Additional Note:
Staffing VIPs requires special diplomatic skills. Please cite
your experience at this kind of work if you ask to be considered for it.
Also, if you envision a Green Room monitor job as a chance to chat
with VIPs about moviemaking, get an autograph, or pitch your
script, please do yourself a big favor, and DO NOT volunteer
for
that
duty. One of the most important duties of a Green Room staff
person is to shield VIPs from that behavior.
