Task Descriptions

Virtual Info Desk
Attending the info desk for in person attendees and monitoring our matrix space for any questions, managing misbehaviour when chat moderators are unavailable.
Runner

Information Desk

Speaker's support
Support and connect with speakers before their talks, make sure they have water and know which room to be in and when, what equipment requirements they have (presentation, video playing, etc), communicate with other support volunteers (runners, tech support, etc) to handle any infrastructure needs or unexpected problems.
