Volunteering at Web Summit Vancouver

Gain valuable experience
Volunteering at Web Summit is an opportunity to dip your toes into roles that you might not normally get to experience. We can help you find a volunteering role that interests you – whether it’s gathering quotes, meeting and greeting our attendees at Night Summit, or helping our stage managers run the show.
Meet new people
Our volunteers always say that one of the things that keeps them coming back to volunteer with us year after year is the people they meet. Join our global community of volunteers and make connections you’ll keep with you long after Web Summit ends.
Experience Web Summit during your time off

As a volunteer, you’ll get access to the event during your time off. Check out talks from our top speakers, wander the conference floor or let off some steam at Night Summit

Behind the scenes
