Why Volunteer at DATA:Scotland?

Volunteering Is Fun

Yes, it can be hard work and there are lots of different jobs to do, but you'll be part of a small, dedicated team that makes the day a wonderful, friendly experience.

Volunteers Are Amazing People

Volunteers make the event special. They're people who are passionate about technology and community, and this is your chance to work alongside them.

Meet Our Speakers

Volunteering is one of the easiest and best ways to meet our amazing speakers. You'll be one of the people helping them deliver their sessions.

What's Expected of Volunteers

The jobs we ask volunteers to do are wide and varied, and some only crop up on the day! The main roles include:

Room Monitoring

Help speakers run their sessions: showing time cards, making sure they have what they need and generally making their life easier.

Guiding Attendees

It's a large venue, so attendees need directions to find the right rooms. You may be tasked with pointing people to their sessions.

Admin Support

Registering attendees as they arrive, letting us know when rooms are full and keeping the day ticking along.

Making Sure Everyone Has a Good Time

You'll be the first port of call for attendees with questions. We'll make sure you have all the info you need and can easily reach the event team.

You won't be working all day

We want you to have fun and enjoy yourself too, so you'll have time to do your own thing and catch some sessions.

What Do You Get Out of Volunteering?

Our Thanks

We're a small team and can't be everywhere at once. You're the people attendees remember, and you're what makes the event so awesome.

A Guaranteed Ticket

No need to wonder if you'll get a place at the event. Your space is assured.

A Limited Edition T-Shirt

A small thank you for volunteering, and it means attendees know who to ask for help on the day.

Fancy Joining the Team?

Don't worry if you haven't volunteered before. We'll let you know what to expect and give you all the support you need. We hold briefing calls in the run-up to the event, and on the day you'll always know where to find the organisers.
