[Leftforumvolunteers] Volunteer on-site for free attendance—we need your help!

[Left Forum]

Dear friends of Left Forum,

With over 1000 speakers and 300 panels, we are experiencing an unprecedented
level of interest in the conference. We are writing to you because we need
your help in the on-site conference operations on March 18-20.

A relatively small crew of folks helps to set up the pre-conference
operations that bring in hundreds of panels and panelists from NYC and
around the world. Much of Left Forum is self organized and produced mainly
through in-kind support and volunteerism. And while the speakers and panel
organizers contribute all their time and energy towards making the panels
happen, the success of the conference depends upon the willingness of our
larger community to pitch in, and to help us run the conference itself.

So what can you do?

We especially need people to help with the registration and admission
process, to direct conference attendees to the hundreds of panels and our
book exhibits, and to guide people into our plenary events. We also need
help with media, video recording and coordinating, and closing operations.

Signing up for one session does of course get you free entry into the
conference, but we hope that you can do more. Signing up for two or more
shifts creates the consistency that is immeasurably helpful to both the
organizers and to the conference as a whole. Please note that we need all
those who sign up to meet their commitments, and to inform us at least three
days us in advance if that is not possible.

Thank you in advance for helping make the Left Forum possible. Please feel
free to forward and pass this on to anyone you think may be interested.
