Access it from the [Event Management Overview](/event-management/overview) by clicking the **Volunteers** tab. ## Creating volunteer opportunities Set up the roles you need filled for your event. Each opportunity includes: | Field | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Title** | Name of the volunteer role (e.g., "Registration Desk", "AV Setup") | | **Description** | What the volunteer will be doing | | **Category** | Type of work — see [categories](#volunteer-categories) below | | **Requirements** | Any skills or qualifications needed | | **Time slot** | When the volunteer is needed (start and end time) | | **Location** | Where the volunteer should report | | **Max volunteers** | Maximum number of people who can sign up for this role | Navigate to your event's management page and click **Volunteers**. Click **Create Opportunity** and fill in the details: title, description, category, requirements, time slot, location, and max volunteers. Save the opportunity. It becomes visible to registered attendees who can sign up. ## Volunteer categories Volunteer opportunities are organized into categories to help attendees find roles that match their interests: | Category | Typical roles | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Setup** | Venue setup, signage, table arrangement, equipment placement | | **Registration** | Check-in desk, badge distribution, attendee greeting | | **Technical Support** | Wi-Fi troubleshooting, projector setup, IDE assistance | | **Photography** | Event photos, social media content, team portraits | Create opportunities across multiple categories and time slots so volunteers can pick shifts that work with their schedule. ## Managing signups Once attendees sign up for volunteer opportunities, you can manage them from the Volunteers tab: ### Viewing signups Each opportunity shows the current number of signups against the maximum. Click on an opportunity to see the full list of volunteers who signed up, including their name and contact information. ### Confirming signups Review volunteer signups and confirm them to let volunteers know they're expected. Confirmed volunteers receive a notification with their role details, time slot, and location. ### Managing capacity If an opportunity reaches its maximum volunteer count, no additional signups are accepted. You can increase the max if more help is needed, or create additional opportunities for the same role at different time slots. Volunteers must be registered for the event before they can sign up for opportunities. Encourage attendees to register first, then browse available volunteer roles. ## Next steps View attendee registrations and check-in status. View and manage project submissions.
