Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Jo<\/a> is busy managing speakers. Vetting applications, selecting speakers (with help from Dee and others), emailing, calling, collecting info and bio, managing questions, keeping them informed, creating personalised social tiles and finding new last-minute stand-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dee<\/a> manages our schedule and coordinates with Jo, ensuring a diversity of speakers and topics, dealing with conflicts and speakers’ requests for days and time slots, and ensuring the overall delivery of WordCamp Sydney is the best it can be to meet our attendees’ expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordan<\/a> is keeping both eyes on the budget sheet \ud83d\udc40ensuring that our sponsor-given dollarbucks are spent well and that we’re maintaining positive cash flow. He’s invoicing, paying bills and reconciling bank transactions. After the event, Jordan will prepare a budget sheet we can share publicly on the website for transparency so you can see what was spent and where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Belinda<\/a> is collecting volunteer applications and assigning them tasks in our volunteer’s schedule: room leads, room MCs, mic runners, photographers, timekeepers, rego desk – there’s a heap of stuff we need help on the day to run. She’s also looking after safety at the event and will coordinate with the venue security team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emanuel<\/a> will be looking after the registration desk. It’s gonna be busy, busy, busy from 8 am on event day! He’s coordinating with Belinda to get volunteers for registration and the help desk. He’ll ensure registration is a smooth, quick process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam has left the organisation team but was pivotal in finding venues and quotes for the Friday and Saturday evening social events. Visiting venues, talking with the owners, ensuring capacity, accessibility, catering and costs. Others in the team have picked this up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vladimir<\/a>, with help from Jo and Alice<\/a>, has been working on the website and all the graphics you see on the socials. Creating personalised graphics takes time and energy. They also create the event name badges, which means data merging all attendee’s details (photo, name, company, QR URL) into a format the printers can run with. It’s a big task!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eva<\/a> searched the entire planet and possibly off-world to get the best deal for swag and merch. We think she’s done a fantastic job, but shhhhh, Eva, don’t tell! \ud83e\udd2b Let our attendees find out what we have on the day! \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n\n\n\nSchedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
