Volunteer Benefits
To show our gratitude, volunteer benefits for Symposium include:
- Volunteers who complete one shift will be able to tour the exhibit halls one time during the week of Space Symposium. This can be the same day as your shift, or a day after your shift. The exhibit hall volunteer tour days are Tuesday–Thursday while the exhibit halls are open. This does not include Monday evening.
- Volunteers who work two more shifts will be able to tour the exhibit halls two times, again, Tuesday–Thursday while the exhibit halls are open. This does not include Monday evening. Two or more shifts will also provide you access to a speaker session of your choosing.
- Volunteers will have access to the volunteer lounge with very light snacks and beverages. We will also provide a meal ticket for our volunteers. One shift = one meal ticket. More than one shift= meal tickets for the shifts you are working (can be redeemed after your shift, not just during the time of your shift). Meal tickets may be redeemed at the Space Café located in exhibit hall- North (sponsored by BAE Systems, & is the larger exhibition hall). The Space Café is open when the exhibit hall is open.
- You will receive a thank you gift for volunteering. If you would like us to send a note to a supervisor or commander with a note of your volunteer efforts, we would be happy to do so.
