Each year we rely on a wonderful group of volunteers to help us make our conference environment warm and welcoming for all attendees. Volunteers work alongside the most innovative people in journalism, and finish the conference with the satisfaction that they’ve helped successfully support one of the biggest events in the field.
Selected applicants will receive complimentary registration to ONA25.
Volunteer roles
Event volunteers work eight-hour shifts helping support pre-conference preparations, registration, sessions, special events and other important aspects of ONA25.
