Become a volunteer and help organize an open source event

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 could help 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

You can either go for a short shift that gives you enough time to also participate in workshops and keynotes or a full shift if you’re mainly at the conference to support the Nextcloud team.

If you would like to support the Nextcloud Community Conference as a volunteer, please fill out the application form. You’ll receive an email from us letting you know if you’ve been accepted for this event.

Thank you for your support!

We’re grateful to have you join us at our Community Conference and can’t wait to see you there! What are you most looking forward to?
