Geek Guides (Volunteering)

What do Geek Guides Do?

Geek Guides make Geekway to the West as great as it is! We need more hands and help beyond our board members to help make sure that everyone has a great convention. If you have registered for Geekway Prime, we hope you consider signing up for a couple of shifts as a Geek Guide!

In appreciation, Geek Guides may receive a T-shirt, special door prize drawings, and other benefits depending on the number of shifts worked.

Setup/Teardown

We set up our Library and Play and Win rooms on the day before the convention. If you’re in town, we’d love your help. This is a physically demanding position, including moving pallet jacks, setting up shelving, and hauling boxes of games.

On the final day of the convention, we also need people to help us box up the library, break down shelves, and help move things back to the truck.

In the days following the convention, we need help reshelving and organizing games at Miniature Market.

Registration

As a Registration Geek Guide, you will work in the Geekway HQ, giving people their badges and answering questions. Shifts are 2 hours long. 

Game Librarian

Librarian Geek Guides check games in and out with our computerized library system, help people find games to play, keep the shelves neat and tidy, and answer general questions.

Play and Win Monitor

Much like the Librarians, the Play and Win Monitor helps out in the Play and Win room. Play and Win tends to be busier than the library, and also involves a more complicated check-in procedure, due to the Play and Win entries.
