Apply as Convention Volunteer

You must have a Tabletop.Events (TTE) account in order to apply to volunteer.  You can find instructions on Creating an Account here.

Many conventions provide volunteer opportunities for convention attendees.  Some conventions will allow individuals to volunteer in exchange for a badge, while others will require a badge purchase first.
