Become a Volunteer at Imaginarium 2026!
A great volunteer staff is at the heart of any good convention. Volunteers are the backbone of a convention, the ones working behind the scenes to ensure the safety and seamless operation of the event. That’s why we need volunteers at Imaginarium: because we can’t do it alone.
What we need at Imaginarium:
- Volunteers to cover all areas of the convention, including, but not limited to, registration, panel and workshop monitoring, film festival, security, entertainment, the expo hall and vendors, banquet/awards, and guest services.
- People aged 16+ willing to work 12 hours over the weekend for most areas of the convention, distributed within the 3 days in 3 or 4 hour shifts. Security volunteering is the only exception, where we ask for three shifts of six hours distributed across the three-day weekend.
- Experience with other conventions and the duties associated with each position is preferred, but not a requirement.
- There will be an orientation meeting on the evening of Thursday, July 16th, with the specific time announced closer to the event.
- Professional and courteous behavior at all times even when off duty at the convention, as you are representing The Imaginarium Convention
- Have fun, make new friends, and smile a lot!
What we Offer:
- One complimentary full-weekend Event Ticket per volunteer. This provides complete attendee access to the convention, except for paid events such as the dinner for the Awards Banquet and premium workshops. These must be reserved and purchased at regular rates.
- A great STAFF t-shirt to be worn during your shift.
We want all of our volunteers to be able to enjoy the convention, which is why we need cooperation from everyone involved. If you are scheduled to hold a shift, please show up. We understand that things happen and life gets in the way. If that’s the case, it is your responsibility to contact the Volunteer Coordinator IMMEDIATELY. Skipping a shift without notification will not only remove you from the roster and void your complimentary pass, but bar you from volunteering for future events with us..
