Call for volunteers during the actual conference, as opposed to the conference planning committees.

Community Support Volunteers

See https://2023.code4lib.org/conduct/#volunteers for more details, including contact information.

Concierge/Local Guides

Available after sessions to direct people to evening activities and local points of interest, etc.

If you're local to the area (or know it very well), you can pick up a white "LOCAL" ribbon at check-in. Conference hosts will direct attendees to seek out Local Guides for directions, restaurant recommendations, etc.

Livestream QA (Remote)

Volunteers for livestream QA will be remotely watching the conference and can notify us if there are any issues with the feed. We'd prefer two or three volunteers per shift, located in different parts of the US/world. All times below (if any are listed) are Eastern Standard Time (EST).

To report a problem (even if you're not an "official" volunteer), you can send a message in the #livestream-qa channel of the Code4Lib Slack.

IRC/Slack (Technical)

Access: Look into technology/procedures to make connecting to, and maintaining a connection to, IRC/Slack less painful. i.e. make sure wifi will allow connection, and someone needs to contact freenode about the sudden influx of people. Demonstrate how to get onto #code4lib during Registration. Offer support for newcomers in #code4lib during the conference.
