Doctor ConCoction Needs YOU!

We're now less than a month away from ConCoction 2020's convention and many departments are still accepting volunteers for this year's convention. 

We will need help in Programming, Publicity, ConSuite, Art Show, Charity Silent Auction, Gaming, Security and possibly also in Operations.  We will also need help setting up on Thursday evening (this includes loading in) and tearing down on Sunday evening (this includes loading out), before the Dead Dog.


Eight hours over the course of the weekend gets you a partial membership reimbursement and twelve hours gets you a bigger membership reimbursement.  

What would you like to help with?  You can sign up online at our website or send us an email here.  Please let us know as soon as possible what hours and/or days you're available for and what department(s) you would like to assist in.

We really appreciate your help and We couldn't have this convention without you!
​
Thank you!

How to help your local convention...

We often get asked "How can I help ConCoction?" 

ConCoction is an all fan-run, volunteer run convention here in NE Ohio, which is as we like to say "By the Fans, For the Fans" and has been since its formation in November of 2012. 
The best ways you can help your local convention are simple but may require some time if you're interested.  
  • Volunteer : Not just just during the convention, but before and after, at other fundraising events like our Game Days, or become part of the convention volunteer staff and be a year round volunteer.

  • Pre-Register : One of the ways we can do more every year is by having pre-registration memberships rather than at the door memberships. By registering for the convention, you are a member of the convention. You are welcome to vote in Board Elections in addition to attending our monthly meetings. By being a member of ConCoction this is your convention.  

  • Tell A Friend : The best way for ConCoction to continue to grow is by word of mouth. Tell your friends and family about us and if you had a good time. If you didn't, please tell us!

  • Sponsorship : Do you or does someone you know have a business that might be a good fit for a sponsorship? Do you know of a charity we should look at assisting? 
    Being a 501(c)(3) organization and all volunteer driven, we are always looking for sponsorships that can best benefit our members and our events, as well as charitable organizations we can assist towards our goals of benefitting the arts, education, STEM, and awareness in NE Ohio. 

There are many ways to help your local convention community grow and thrive, and we thank you for 5+ fantastic years here in NE Ohio!
