DjangoCon Europe 2018 Call for volunteers

2018's DjangoCon Europe will be held in beautiful Heidelberg, from the 23rd to the 27th May.

Of course, we're happy about everyone joining us who has prior experience in one of these areas, but if you don't, that's fine as well! We'll work something out and you'll be experienced in that area afterwards.

Your location is not important, either (we can do all things that need to be done in Heidelberg itself) – the only important thing is that you have the energy and free time to help organize a wonderful DjangoCon Europe. You do not need to speak German - all team and attendee communication is in English and we have German-speaking people on board for venue contacts and the like.

Don't be shy - drop us a line at 2018@djangocon.eu, because we're looking forward to hearing from you!
