SpoCon is an educational nonprofit that runs an annual Science Fiction and Fantasy convention! We're an all-volunteer organization and our convention brings in over 500 people to the downtown Doubletree hotel. We have science panels, writing panels, published authors, artists, performance arts, costuming, costume masquerade, live music and much more! And we need help to make this the best convention we can make it! The money raised from our SpoCon convention is used to purchase and donate books back to local Spokane schools--and you can be a part of that!
We need volunteers in the following areas:
Operations (Running items from room to room, finding people, etc)
Mad Marmot Market (Handling cash, addressing the public, retail)
Registration (Helping move people through the registration line; smiling)
Accessibility (Answering accessibility questions, providing information)
Hospitality (No heavy lifting but lots of moving; and/or handling cash)
Security (Watching hallways/entrances, checking for badges, etc)
Art Room (Making sure no one spills drinks on art, checking bags, etc)
Set Up / Tear Down (Unloading/Loading the U-Haul, emptying trash, taking down signs, etc)

SpoCon was founded in 2008--since then we've had many successful conventions (taking 2015 and 2016 off after WorldCon). We've brought in professionals and panelists from all across the nation, published authors, cutting edge scientists, make-up artists, costumers and so much more.
