Attire - Make sure you dress comfortably, especially your shoes. You will be standing and moving a lot and it will make for a very long day if your feet are killing you by lunch. You will be given a volunteer shirt and that must be worn during your shift. Cosplay is not allowed while volunteering.
Lunch and Dinner - We do our best to get everyone breaks throughout the day. If you plan to see a panel, we can work that out. If you are wanting to see multiple panels and the show floor, it may be best just to attend as a fan that day and volunteer for a different day. We will also be providing a $10 per diem for lunch. If you have any medical needs that require you to have certain foods at certain times, please bring that with you. Some volunteers may need to stay late to help monitor panels that go long into the evening. A dinner per diem of $10 will also be provided in this case.
Give a Day, Get a Day - We understand you are volunteering because you are a fan of the con. By volunteering for a day, you also get a day to come check out the con. If you are volunteering on Friday or Saturday, at the end of your shift, you can get a wristband to come back on Saturday or Sunday (your choice). If you are volunteering on Saturday or Sunday and want to come check out the con on Friday or Saturday, you would need to contact Les directly at les@popcon.us . If you purchase tickets and volunteer you WILL NOT be reimbursed for any tickets or passes. If you are working all three or four days and want to give your day pass to a friend or family, simply give Les their information and the pass or wrist bands will be available for pick up at the volunteer lounge 231
