Thank you for your interest in volunteering at ONA17! It’s a great experience to not only help advance digital journalism, but also meet other volunteers and attendees. Make sure to read the details below before you apply.

Our volunteers are a critical part of the conference and help staff the registration desk, support our exhibit and midway spaces, offer attendees help in finding sessions and greet folks at special events like receptions. Volunteers work an eight to 10 hour shift.

In return, you’ll get free and guaranteed registration to what has been a sold-out conference 10 years running. There’s plenty of camaraderie, lots of food and caffeine, and reasonable hours that allow you time to network and take advantage of the inspiring educational sessions at the conference. If you’re selected, positions will be assigned during the summer.
