  • Helping attendees find their way around the venue and answering any questions they might have. 
  • Helping to keep the venue clean and tidy throughout the day. 

What skills or experience do I need?

  • Positive, friendly attitude to help attendees feel welcome when they arrive. 
  • Willing to be part of a busy team in an active role.
