What Do EuroSTAR Volunteers Do?
Our volunteers rotate duties across a number of areas including delegate bag packing, registration, directing everyone to where they need to be, facilitating community sessions and assisting speakers . Complete the form below to apply!
As a EuroSTAR Conference volunteer, you won’t just be a spectator – you’ll be an essential part of the conference team. Connect with industry leaders, testers, QA engineers, developers, test managers, and more. Check out the EuroSTAR Programme to see what you will be part of.
Set Up – This is the behind the scenes of EuroSTAR and includes packing the delegate goodie bags, getting signage in place and ensuring all areas are ready to go. We also need help to dismantle it all again!
Welcome & Directions – Once the attendees start arriving, it’s all hands to the reg desk to welcome everyone, hand out their swag and ensure they get to where they need to be.
Reporters – The FOMO is real. With 4 simultaneous tracks, it’s impossible to be everywhere. Our reporters help summarise the talks so other attendees can see the key learnings.
Speaker Support – this may be for a tutorial, or you could be track chair for the day where you introduce each speaker in that room and help host the Q&A… and yes you also get to enjoy the talks you are assigned to.
Community Sessions – facilitating topic based meet-ups during the breaks, lean coffee and round table type sessions.
Test Lab – this where attendees get competitive with hands on technical challenges and bug hunts.
