Gary Con is a major undertaking that requires many hands to make possible. We need YOU to volunteer and be one of the important people that keeps Gary Con running smoothly. We need YOU whether you are attending in Lake Geneva or virtually on the GC Discord. If you want to volunteer, you can contact [email protected] to let them know you are interested. Additionally, we use the TTE Volunteer interface to sign-up for volunteer slots.
What is a GC volunteer?
It's an excellent person who is willing to dedicate their personal time to helping Gary Con grow into the grand gaming convention we all enjoy. It takes a special kind of person to help bring joy to their fellow gaming enthusiasts and for them, we are grateful.
