Volunteering at the MVC

OVMA is seeking volunteers to serve as moderators during every live session at the MVC. Moderators are tasked with introducing and assisting speakers as needed during their presentations. This is your chance to meet your favorite speakers and help the MVC run smoothly!

What is a Session Moderator?

A Session Moderator is an attendee who serves as an "ambassador" to one or more speakers. They remain in the room while the speaker presents in case they need assistance. Duties include:

  • Introduces the speaker using a prepared script
  • Troubleshoots any issues that arise, such as room problems or audio/visual difficulties
  • Locates the appropriate staff members if a speaker needs anything
  • Monitors how much time remains in the session to keep the speaker on schedule

Bonus #1! Moderators are also invited to join their speakers for lunch on the day(s) they volunteer.

Bonus #2! For every session you volunteer for, you'll gain an entry into a raffle to win one of four select prizes!

Sign up to moderate by Feb. 10. Winners will be notified and receive their prizes via email after completing all selected volunteer slots.

What's the catch?

Any attendee is invited to become a moderater, but you must be registered to attend on the day(s) you volunteer. (In other words, it's not a way to attend the MVC for free... Sorry!)

How to Sign Up

Please log in to your MVC registration (linked via the "Volunteer Now" button below) and click on the "Volunteer" tab or refer to your confirmation email for a link to the volunteer sign-up page.
