Help Wanted - April 2010

Connie's Quantum Sandbox Contact Matthew D. Bannerman at sandbox@convergence-con.org

• CONvergence’s Art and Science activity room is looking for some assistance. We're going to have plenty of projects and activities in Connie's Quantum Sandbox this year, and we're looking for people to help run projects! We've got a list of our ideas here
• We are also looking for two additional Sub-Heads (we have a few, but we’re looking for a couple more). These people would work closely with the three co-heads (Matthew D. Bannerman, Angie Anderson, and Jim Shields) developing the room and the project concepts, as well as staffing the room during the Con, itself.

Moving Crew Contact facilities@convergence-con.org

• CONvergence needs a little help moving in and out of the Sheraton. On Tuesday June 29 from 10:00am to Noon we’re looking for people who can help move things from our storage space in St. Paul to the hotel. We will meet at the Sheraton and carpool to the storage location.
• We also need people Wednesday June 30 from 9:00am to 3:00pm to help unload our storage pods and get items to the right place.
• On Monday July 5 we need people from 9:00am until 5:00pm to help load the storage pods back up and move some items back to our storage location in St. Paul.
• We ask people be able to lift 50 pounds safely and will be offering incentives to those who help out on Monday after the convention.

Video Crew / CVG-TV Contact Tony Karna at video@convergence-con.org

Primary duties are recruiting and assigning video staff to projects, managing purchases/expenses, and working with our Merchandise team on marketing & sales of the finished product. NO video/film skills needed - while it would be a nice bonus, we can teach you what you need to know in order to find the right people.
