Volunteering at Tennessee Game Days

An amazing convention like TGD could not function without amazing volunteers. While many of our volunteers have been with us for years (fun fact: even the convention organizers are volunteers!) we could always use new faces too. We ask that you have attended TGD at least once before volunteering for Registration or Library. First time attendees can volunteer for Setup/Tear Down. We just want you to understand the TGD vibe before jumping into a forward facing position. Thanks!

Badges

Your volunteer badge will be a different color from everyone else, identifying you as a helpful person who can answer attendee questions. The answer is almost always, "scan the QR code on your badge." But if not, it may be for them to ask the librarian or ping Discord or have the librarian ping Rick/Russ.

If you have a preferred name for your badge that is different than the one you are using for SignUpGenius, or if you volunteer for two slots to get a family pass, then you must email the Volunteer Coordinator with a list of names for badge printing. Otherwise, we get them from the SuG export.

Details

Registration

Registration volunteers assist in the check in process as well as help attendees get a lay of the land by answering the important questions of what's the wifi password, when / where do events start, and has someone found this random game piece that we lost?

Library

We need friendly people to run the check in / out desk. Our library scanning system is straight forward. You will need to be able to explain the Play to Win rules to other attendees. Don't worry, someone will teach/refresh you, and there will be a printed copy at the desk and a poster in the PtW room.

Setup / Tear Down

We transport the library from its year round home to the event and back again. Moderate lifting required for all slots, and a truck/SUV required for one slot.
