When and how you can expect to hear from us:

We will begin contacting and organizing volunteers this coming week.  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.

Note: if you plan to attend in any case, DO buy your registration and tickets.

Buying your registration and tickets guarantees your place in the "electronic line" for pitch tickets and events.  If you are selected as a volunteer, we will refund your registration fees and $5 seminar tickets.

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.
