Volunteering for the convention

The convention runs on volunteer staff.  Working a convention as a volunteer has many rewards - ;  

1) You can get in the show for group rate or cheaper

2) You can help run an important function of the convention

3) You can work with a great group of friends and associates  

4) You work only a minimum of 8 hours on staff during the convention  

5) Though this is only volunteer status and not employee status, you can request and get a volunteer work performance review
