BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do and they make TEDx events happen!
It takes an army of passionate, creative and can-do people to put on an event this scale – doing anything from helping people to their seats, to operating cameras and running the check-in desk.
Like every TEDx event around the world, we’re a bunch of motivated and passionate people from all walks of life with one thing in common: delivering a brilliant ideas event. You don’t need to be an event professional or have previous experience – but you do need to be prepared to give up some of your spare time, to learn on the job and to get stuck in.
As a TEDxSwansea volunteer, you’ll gain experience of working on a live, high profile event and film shoot. You’ll widen your professional and social network, be the face of our event, and probably make some fantastic new friends too.
Previous TEDxSwansea team members have gained some great benefits from the experience and Brand Association with TEDxSwansea
