Open Positions for Animatic Con 2021

• Registration:
  • Help set the tone for the weekend by being one of the friendly faces that greets every attendee! Reg Staff will be responsible for assisting attendees with pre-registration badge pickup and purchasing badges at show. You will also be expected to answer any questions attendees may ask. We encourage you to wear your awesome cosplay while working as part of our elite Registration team.

• Main Events:
  • Do you enjoy being center stage for all the action? Why not join our Main Events stage crew? Here you will play a key role in ensuring that the stage is set for each event that will take place center stage throughout the weekend. You will be helping to not only set up equipment but also run audio and learn a thing or two about what makes a show great! Previous experience is not required but always appreciated!
    

• Panels:
  • Panel Coordinators play a major role in the weekend entertainment. Their tasks include not only ensuring the panel room is set up for the next panel but also helping to prevent panels from running over their scheduled times as well as ensuring they start on schedule. We also encourage that you take a bit and enjoy a piece of the panel to help provide feedback on the attendance and run time of all panels you observe.

• Response:
  • Animatic’s Response Team helps keep all of our guests safe throughout the weekend. As a member of the Response team you will be tasked to help monitor the con floor to help prevent any potential issues or threats, while helping to ensure guests are following the safety regulations and policies. Our Response team also works around the clock as a team, so you could potentially even just work overnight so that you can enjoy the con itself during the day.

• Animatic Runners (Gophering):
  • Never staffed a convention before? Fear not! We recommend starting out as one of our elite Animatic Runners (AR). AR’s are only expected to work 4 hours each day of the convention. As a runner , you will work closely with our Con Ops team. You will need to report to Ops  at the beginning of your shift and will remain in contact with the Operations Manager during your entire shift. This will also get you $10.00 back on your badge at end of show!
