Join the DrupalCon Singapore Volunteering Team

Track Leads work in the Content Team to review speaker submissions and help curate the content that is delivered as part of DrupalCon Singapore. 

As a Track Lead, your responsibilities would include:

• Evaluating session submissions in a blind review process, assigning a score across multiple criteria
• Working with the Content Team to develop the content schedule for the two conference days, ensuring a good balance for all attendees
• Working with speakers to ensure their content is being developed in time and is up to a high standard
• Working as a session monitor during the event for your speakers to help them get set up, and to facilitate the Q&A at the end of each session

This is one of the busiest roles at DrupalCon Singapore and also one of the most important. For this role, we're seeking volunteers with previous experience speaking at DrupalCons or similar events who have experience mentoring and helping speakers deliver great content.

The Splash Awards recognise the very best Drupal websites from particular regions, and this year we're exciting to bring the Splash Awards to Asia for the first time ever! 

Splash Awards judges work independently from the organising committee and are responsible for filling out a judging form for all the Splash Awards entry, assigning a score in each 5 weighted categories. For more info on the judging process, you can review the DrupalSouth 2024 judging guidelines, which will be similar to those in effect for DrupalCon Singapore. 

Judges remain anonymous until the award ceremony. The ideal judge will have experience in more than one discipline related to building and delivering great Drupal sites, such as development, design, project management, content authoring, information architecture, and more. 

Judges from other Splash Awards in other regions are encouraged to volunteer.

We're hoping for lots of first time DrupalCon attendees in Singapore, and we want to make sure they have the best experience possible. To help deliver this, we're creating small First Timer Groups of 3 or 4 attendees paired with a single Guide. 

The Groups aim to connect people from similar regions, genders, and languages. As a Guide, your responsibilities would include:

• Connecting with your group near the registration desk on Day 1, and during the lunches on both conference days
• Working with your group members to review the schedule and suggest talks they might like to attend
• Encouraging group members to tag along with each other or yourself to DrupalCon sessions aimed at first timers (these will be highlighted in the Agenda). 
• Generally making sure members in your group are having a good time, discovering, and feeling safe at DrupalCon Singapore

We'd like to keep groups flexible and fun, and encourage members to hang with or break away from their group whenever they feel like it so nobody feels pressured to take part while also feeling there's some friendly faces they can turn to if they have some questions or want to hang out.
