MW2015 Volunteer Application open

Posted on by

Just like museums, Museums and the Web would not be possible without volunteers… so every year we recruit about 20-25 volunteers who perform a variety of duties that are crucial to the success of the conference. In return for about 25 hours of work volunteers receive a full registration for the conference (volunteers must, however, pay for any pre-conference workshops they wish to attend. Travel (hotel, expenses and flight costs) is not included).

For more information about volunteering or applying click here. The deadline is December 5, 2014.

In special cases, some support will also be offered for travel and lodging costs.
