==== Know how many Volunteers you need! ==== Once our schedule for C14 events was really set in stone, I began to realize that I had nowhere near enough volunteers to be able to support all the jobs we needed them to assist with. We did manage to keep most everything covered well in the end, though some people ended up working for several hours more through the weekend than I would have preferred. The following outline is what we found to have worked well in figuring out how many volunteers are needed: The following should be figured as a minimum of two (2) volunteers per three hour shift * Badge pickup * Badge Purchase and Sponsored Event purchases * Vendor sign-in and Badge Pickup * Convergence Merchandise sales As you can see, that comes to eight (8) people covering four separate tables for only three hours. Our ''Meet-and-Greet'' ran from 12pm to 6pm on Friday, and I didn't have sixteen (16) people to cover six hours of time. A portion of the volunteer staff had not even arrived at the hotel by that point. Luckily, committee members and staff joined in to assist, and everything worked out pretty well. The point to consider here is that with just the ''Meet and Greet'', we could easily have used sixteen volunteers for three hours each. Volunteers are there because they want to help, but they also want to be able to enjoy the weekend that they paid to attend.
