VWBPE 2025: TRANSITIONS

APRIL 3-5, 2025

VWBPE25 Call for Volunteers

Jan 13, 2025 | VWBPE News

Ready to be a hero? It’s time to join the action at VWBPE 2025!

We’re excited to announce that the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education Conference is officially opening this year’s Call for Volunteers, and guess what? We need YOU! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, this is your chance to make an impact and be part of something amazing.

Our 2025 Conference theme is Transitions, which is truly in touch with where we are right now and gives a definition for our dynamic team. You have faced pivotal shifts throughout your careers, and have adapted and are an integral part of redefining how education and virtual worlds evolve to meet new challenges.

How Do VWBPE Volunteers Help?

At VWBPE, we’re all about creating a synergistic, engaging experience—and that’s where you come in! Our volunteers are the heart and soul of the conference, making everything run smoothly. You could be:

  • Welcoming attendees with a friendly greeting
  • Live Streaming a session to expand our reach
  • Helping presenters with behind-the-scenes magic
  • Wrangling a Quadrivium session with style
  • Snapping perfect photos for our social media

Whatever role you take on, you’ll be helping create the magic that makes VWBPE a unique, inspiring event for all.

You Don’t Have to be Crazy to Work Here – We’ll Train You!

If you’re new to volunteering with us, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered! We’ll provide all the training you need to make sure you have a fantastic time, and if you’re a returning volunteer, welcome back — we couldn’t do this without you and we provide refresher training!

Perks of the Job

As a thank you, you’ll get:

  • Access to an exclusive, snappy volunteer outfit (because you’ll look awesome)
  • The opportunity to meet and collaborate with an incredible community of like-minded people
  • The ability to make a difference while working at home in your pajamas
  • Unlimited virtual chocolate/coffee/tea
  • Bragging rights, and an inworld certificate to prove it!
  • Invitations to two staff parties in Second Life (much more fun than the physical world counterparts)
  • A behind-the-scenes look at a major online conference
  • The knowledge that you’re helping make the magic happen!

We invite you to join the Transitions team and make this 18th annual conference the most exciting yet!

Find a role that you are comfortable with:
Host
Mentor
Quadrivium Assistant
Stream Team
Conference Photographer

Minimum time commitments are 1-hour shifts. Training for volunteers will begin in mid-March for most positions. One of our team will contact you with information about training, schedule signups and volunteer activities that you will be invited to attend.

For more information and to sign up, please visit the Volunteers page.

We’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have about volunteering for VWBPE. Use the ‘I have a question…’ option in the signup form on the Volunteers page.

We look forward to having you on our VWBPE Transitions Volunteer Team this year!
