Volunteering for Con-Nichiwa
We are excited that you want to be a volunteer for our great convention. The convention would not be successful without our amazing volunteers. Volunteering for a convention gives you an opportunity to see how a convention works from the inside and also gives you a feeling of great accomplishment when the area you are volunteering in has a successful event. We pride ourselves in training up a great core staff that at one point started just like you as a volunteer.
