We are seeking volunteers to join us as ushers and room monitors for our upcoming 10th annual SCALE conference in Los Angeles on Jan 21-24, 2016 at the LAX Hilton. We are a 501c3 non-profit / volunteer run organization.

Volunteering SCALE is a great opportunity to learn more about open-source technology, while helping out the community. As a room monitor you would introduce speakers, watch the sessions and notify our a/v team of issues, and help attendees get the most out of this educational opportunity.
