Be a Gopher!

As a Gopher, you’ll be the lifeblood of our convention during the event!

Whether it’s helping with registration, running errands, or supporting different departments, your contributions are invaluable and appreciated.

• Flexibility! Work as much or as little as you want, fitting around the events you love.
• Awesome Perks! From discounts at the Con Store to a free badge for next year—your hard work pays off!

Incentives include:

• 0-8 hours: $10 discount at the Con Store
• 9-14 hours: Discount + a Fur the ‘More T-shirt
• 15-19 hours: Discount + T-shirt + half-off next year’s badge
• 20+ hours: A free attendee badge for next year!

Ready to jump in? Gopher’s only volunteer during the convention itself, but you can sign up early by registering to attend the event and checking the box that you would like to volunteer/gopher. At the convention, you can stop by ConOps to sign up too!
