Volunteering
Furway, like most other conventions, needs volundeers in order to happen, and although the con is fairly small, there are still several various teams you can consider joining. All volunteers also get early access to registration! ✨If a team looks interesting, please contact the relevant team lead (listed below) to ask about more details.
Volunteer Teams
Clean Up
Daily cleaning and maintenance of the con area. Attendees are still expected to clean up after themselves. The cleanup team's tasks are typically more centered on common areas, for example going over floors in event rooms with a broom or vacuum and refilling soap and paper towels.
