Interview w/ PA Project Manager / PAX Volunteer Coordinator
Hey folks, I had a chance to run a set of questions by Kristin Lindsay about PAX and her start with the expo. Please check out the interview it is pretty interesting for anyone attending or curious about event.
Avid:
Can you tell me about the PAX Enforcers and how many of them will be working during PAX 2008?
Kristin:
The PAX Enforcers are the hardest working volunteer team I can imagine finding anywhere. We’ll have just under 400 Enforcers on the floor of the WSCTC this year, most of them are veterans now and they keep coming back for more!
They are the lifeblood of the show. Enforcers do everything from stuffing the attendee bags before the show, to selling tickets, running tournaments, assisting speakers and VIPs, setting up rooms, helping attendees, working with exhibitors… Enforcers are everywhere and involved with everything!
Avid:
What sort of advantage do volunteer PAX Enforcers get?
Enforcers get free enhanced access to PAX, a free shirt and other assorted benefits during the show. They also have a very robust, almost family-like community that is active all year round, and there are other perks we’re able to offer them throughout the year. They also really look out for each other, there seems to be a party or activity every weekend, and they help each other out with things like job postings. It’s a very tight community.
Indeed. Avid, do you want to quote your interview text here?
I read your previous blog entries and you seem to have some interviews with bands who will be at PAX. I'm pretty impressed with the amount of content you've got on such a new blog. I didn't see any tracked ads there -- the only vaguely ad-like things I saw appear to be images from photobucket, not from some ad server.
(So in short, on the surface your post looks like vile evil blogspam, but your blog seems to be rather awesome and full of content. Recommended, as long as it stays in its current form. :-) )
