Volunteer on site at Convergence® 2022 - Sunday, July 17

Description

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at HGA's 2022 Convergence^® taking place July 15-21, 2022 in Knoxville, Tennessee. We could not put on a successful Convergence without the support of many volunteers.

To make it easier to coordinate and find volunteer opportunities, we have set up volunteer registration by day. We have a variety of needs. Please review the description of each volunteer position before registering. Prior to Convergence, all volunteers will be asked to attend a brief Zoom session for training so we may answer any questions you may have.

Once you register, please be prepared to commit. Please be on time. If for some reason you need to cancel, please let HGA know ASAP so we can find a replacement.

If you are not already logged into your account, first log in to My Account.
Click "register" and on the next page, you will see a list of volunteer options. Only select the times and positions for which you can commit.
Complete your transaction.
An email will confirm your volunteer registration.

Volunteer Positions - Sunday:

Exhibit Security: Exhibit security is responsible for securing the art exhibits. Primarily this means ensuring that viewers do not touch the piece (because we know it’s tempting).

Marketplace Entry: Volunteers will check attendee credentials to enter the Marketplace (Exhibitor Badges, CVP Badges, Day Passes, etc.) and refer to registration if necessary. Volunteers will also offer complimentary masks to those who do not have one.

Marketplace – HGA Booths: HGA has two booths in the Marketplace. One is for the Certificate of Excellence (COE) and the other is for the Bateman Books. Volunteers will monitor the booth, answer questions, and sell COE Handbooks.

Marketplace – Informal Fashion Show: Volunteers will help the Fashion Show MC organize the participants.

Marketplace – Silent Auction: Volunteers are responsible for monitoring the silent auction to ensure that pieces do not walk away. They will assist bidders with registration to participate and will ensure that bids are raised by the necessary incremental amount. Volunteers assisting after the silent auction closes, will help prepare the items for pick-up.

Marketplace – Vendor Booth Sitters: Volunteers will assist vendors by sitting in their booth so they may take a break to use the restroom, grab a beverage, or get a bite to eat.

Registration and Volunteer Check-In: For 2022, registration packets are being mailed to attendees in advance. At registration and check-in, these volunteers will be handing out goody bags, selling day passes, and checking-in volunteers.

Ticket Takers: Ticket takers are responsible for taking tickets before events and checking badges to make sure the attendee has the credentials to attend.

For assistance please call (678) 730-0010 Monday-Friday, 12-5 PM EST. We look forward to seeing you in Knoxville!

However, HGA cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19.
