Volunteers Wanted: Make Nice Conference in June

static1.squarespace

The inaugural ‘Make Nice’ Conference is looking for volunteers in the areas of production, styling and managerial positions

What it’s all about:

Make Nice is an event for creative women to learn from creative women in an intimate un-conference environment with an exclusive lineup of creative talent – including Leslie David (FRA), Adi Goodrich (USA), Elizabeth Weinberg (USA), Suzy Tuxen (AUS), and Brodie Lancaster (AUS).

Make Nice will be a casual and informal series of chats and discussions, based on a participant driven, knowledge sharing model with those who have a high level of expertise in their field. As
a not-for-profit platform the inaugural year will be limited to an intimate group of 150 women from across Australia to create a participatory, supportive, and helpful exchange.

Position Details:

– Production Volunteers – must be tech-minded, AV savvy and have a current drivers license.

– Styling Volunteers – must have an interest in interiors, an eye for detail and a current drivers license.

– Front of House Volunteers – must be obscenely friendly, have some kind of customer service experience and ideally an RSA.

All volunteers will get to sit in on the un-conference programming for free and rub shoulders with super impressive creative women.

Apply:

To apply, please provide your CV and a paragraph about why you want to take part in Make Nice to hello@make-nice.com.au with the subject line ‘Skillz Not Billz’. Please let us know if you’re interested in Production, Styling or Front-of-House.

Expressions of interests close Monday, 9 May at 11:59pm. Only successful applicants will be notified.
