Important notes regarding Volunteer applications:
- Applications will become available at noon (Eastern) on Monday, February 17.
- Applicants will need a gencon.com account to sign-up, but will not need a badge in their account to apply.
- Gen Con will review applications in the weeks following February 17, and will approve volunteers up to two weeks before Event Registration goes live in May. Applicants should lock up their event schedule as early as possible to allow for easier scheduling on-site.
- Almost all volunteers will be notified of their schedule and final status by mid-July.
- A limited number of new slots will be made available for this year’s show. For new applicants, Gen Con primarily will focus on hourly volunteers in 2014.
