Announcing: #BlogHerFood16 Call for Volunteers!

Happy Friday! We are super excited to announce our "Call for Volunteers" for #BlogHerFood16!

BlogHer conferences are the "conferences the community built," and we want *you* to be part of helping make this #BlogHerFood16 as amazing as last year. BlogHerships are available for the following positions:

• Mic Wrangler
• Floater
• Registration Desk Helper
• Live Blogger

What is a BlogHership, you ask? BlogHerships are opportunities for people who cannot afford the conference pass to still attend a BlogHer event. BlogHerships are always volunteer positions at the conferences.

Hey, if we are asking for a significant amount of your time, effort, or elbow grease to get something done at the conference, it only makes sense that we will compensate you with a full conference pass. All BlogHerships are designed to cover the $398 registration fee only and do not include travel expenses. Apply now for your chance at a free admission in to #BlogHerFood16 in Austin, TX this coming October!

Information about the various volunteer positions is listed below.

• Mic Wranglers: Movers and shakers apply here! Mic Wranglers will need to maneuver through rooms to deliver the microphone to attendees who want to make their voices heard. This task is especially important because it also affects audio recordings, so you'll need to be able to move about the room quickly. The estimated time commitment is two sessions three (3) hours per day.

• Registration Desk Helpers: This job encompasses more than being a friendly face. Registration Desk Helpers have the critical task of coordinating check-in for attendees, providing badges, tote bags and maps, answering myriad questions and being a general know-it-all (or at least knowing where to find the answers). The estimated time commitment is three (3) hours per day

• LiveBloggers: Can you type quickly? Do you have a knack for remaining unbiased? In this position, volunteers will create an official record of assigned sessions for both attendees and non-attendees to reference. You must transcribe the session as it plays out, not summarize or editorialize the discussion between panelists and attendees. LiveBloggers must use their own wifi-enabled laptops. The estimated time commitment is two sessions three (3) hours per day.

• Floater: help where needed three (3) hours per day.

If you are interested in a BlogHership, don’t delay: you have until Sunday, March 20 to apply.

Don't wait! #BlogHerFood16: Experts Among Us will take place from October 7-8, 2016, in Austin, TX.
