Hello everyone!

I hope this message finds you safe and in good spirits. I am writing you today because we are three months out from the Con and it's time to start organizing volunteers.  We will need help in Programming, Registration, ConSuite, Art Show, Silent Auction,Gaming and Security and possibly Ops.  We also need help setting up on Thursday (this includes loading in) and tearing down on Sunday (this includes loading out).

Eight hours gets you a partial refund and twelve hours gets you a bigger refund.

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

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

Hi, Programming Here,

I am hopeful to have a schedule up by the 1st of the year so you can start planning out your Concoction Activities. 
Until then we are still accepting panel submissions at http://www.clevelandconcoction.org/programming-signup.html

Speaking of programming I am still looking for a couple of people to help out in the programming department. Programming is an incredibly fun department to work with and you get to meet tons of awesome people. Bourbon is optional and sometimes they even allow us to play with the walkie talkies. 

All kidding aside, it really is a great department to take part in and we do have a lot of fun ( and don't forget IF you are on staff or you volunteer at the Convention your eligible to the volunteer price of 1/2 off your membership). 

I am looking for a movie/AV second who will help programming include more independent movie showings and film fests over the next couple of years

We are also looking for a Programming 2nd/Drop Dead Deputy. 

If your interested in joining the programming team please contact myself at Programming@clevelandconcoction.org or through Facebook.
