Does anyone have any experience volunteering at a conference? The last time I was a conference volunteer, I was a teenager.
I just learned that my application for a work/study program was accepted. The application said that I would have to work 15 hours in exchange for a scholarship that covers 2/3rds of the cost. I still have to pay 1/3. The acceptance email indicated that 15 hours is the minimum and it is usually more. I am excited about helping to make this conference successful (it's a local thing that now gets national attention).
I am the kind of person who will work for 12 hours with no break to get the job done if no one else seems to be doing it, and then get burnt out and resent it. I really DON'T want to do that this time. Has anyone worked through an issue like this?
