Volunteering your time at the Nextcloud Community Conference offers numerous benefits, both personally and professionally.

• Learn and Network: Gain hands-on experience and connect with experts and enthusiasts in the open-source community

Become a volunteer, get travel support

To ensure everything runs smoothly, we are calling on passionate volunteers like you to join our team. Whether you are a seasoned Nextcloud veteran or new to the community, your enthusiasm and skills can make a significant impact. As a volunteer, you’d help out with tasks like:

• Helping out at the registration table – greeting guests, handing out swag, providing information, etc.
• Assisting with the technical support of keynote speakers
• Passing around the mic for Q&A after keynotes and panel sessions
• And more! (with still plenty of time to enjoy the conference yourself!)

Every volunteer receives up to 80% of travel support to cover their transportation to and from the conference as well as the hotel stay in Berlin. Other expenses like food are not covered.
