Volunteer for PMX
Work a few hours a day for a refund on your Membership Badge fees! You can help make PMX happen.

Pacific Media Expo (PMX) will have two types of volunteers -- "All-Convention" and "One-Day" volunteers. Each type of volunteer has different benefits and responsibilities. In your assignments, you'll get to see what it takes to put together an annual fan convention and view the behind-the-scenes workings of PMX. And when you're not on duty, you're free to enjoy the convention.

All-Convention Volunteers
Responsibilities: All-Con volunteers agree to work 16 hours over Pacific Media Expo, including the day before ("setup") and the day after ("breakdown"). Benefits: refund of their membership fee after the convention. There is also a limited amount of sleeping space. Volunteers must be pre-approved and space is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis until it is all allocated. Hurry! Space is limited.

One-Day Volunteers
Responsibilities: One-Day volunteers agree to work for 4 hours. Benefits: Refund of their One-Day membership. Under certain circumstances, senior volunteers may work one day and receive a refund for a different day. There are no crash space benefits. One-Day volunteers do NOT need to pre-register. Instead, you may show up to the volunteer room with a completed version of the form below as well as payment for a One-Day Membership. One-Day volunteers may also roll their payment over to other days and volunteer for multiple days of the convention. This plan is ideal for people who have already made arrangements for sleeping space at the convention.

What does volunteering entail?
Volunteers sign up for two-hour shifts over the duration of their agreed work period. By varying your assignments, you can view the different parts of the convention. By focusing on one department, you can make new friends or learn the job well enough to staff and build relationships for future years. When not working their shifts, volunteers are encouraged to enjoy the convention.

Volunteer age
All volunteers must be 16 years of age or older. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have the Parental Consent part of the form completed as well.

We are now accepting volunteers to help out with PMX duties! Download the PMX08 Volunteer Form (pdf) and sign up today.
