Volunteers Program

Each year TEMC recruits a small and dedicated crew of amazing volunteers to gain experience in event management at a large international conference. 

We look for people wanting to develop their skills in event management, social media, public relations, logistics, tourism or hospitality. Those with existing skills (social media in particular) are also strongly encouraged to apply. 

 The volunteer program is particularly suited to early-career university staff and students in the second or third year of their degree. Participants gain real-world experience and skills for the workplace all whilst taking part in an exciting conference. 

Volunteer tasks typically include:

• Assisting with the on-site operations of a large event
• Answering delegates’ enquiries and providing directions through the venue
• Contributing to social media
• Using the conference app to support delegates
• Contributing to the creating a positive conference experience
• Managing a breakout room during the concurrent sessions
• Being a roaming and friendly face for assistance at any time

Volunteers will receive:

• Pre-conference briefing
• On the job-coaching and support throughout the conference
• A three-day pass to TEMC 2022 and any associated online content
• A certificate of participation / reference
• A ticket to the Gala Dinner valued at $180 (if you would like to attend)
