Become a Volunteer

DrupalCon Amsterdam is supported by volunteers from the community. This includes communication, track planning, onsite coordination of sessions and many things more which are necessary to run a great event. 

Easy answer: we get the major European Drupal event of the year. It's important for the whole Drupal ecosystem and that is the reason why many people dedicate a lot of effort. We are aware that these individuals and companies should get more visibility because they actually are the biggest sponsors.

Nobody goes back empty handed, we have something for everyone! To all those who will be volunteering during the event, we will be providing a volunteer t-shirt and some drupal.org credits for all the tasks they do.

Most of our volunteers have full time jobs and as much as they would love to, they can’t commit to organizing the event full time. Our success so far has been many people picking up small tasks with the focus on great team work. To make our event even better, we would like more great individuals with a little time to spare to help in:

• Marketing: Help make noise
• Attendee care
• Speaker care
• Sponsor care
• Tech hands
• Local volunteers
• On-site info screens ...
   

If you are concerned about not having coding skills and want to contribute, don’t worry we have tasks for everyone. We need various skills such as:

• Communication skills
• Project management: analyze situations, find solutions
• Public relations/marketing
• Writing (blog posts, news on social media, workflows...)
• Proofreading
• Illustrating...

If you have some free time to spare and want to become part of the biggest Drupal conference in Europe this year, join us as a volunteer.

There are still sponsor packages available. You could talk to your employer, customers, meetup about sponsoring DrupalCon Amsterdam. No problem if you are not the first one to address them, sometimes it needs several approaches ;-) Download the sponsor brochure and spread the word.
