They’re the folk in the blue ‘crew’ t-shirts. Those who help welcome you to the event and set you up with your goodie bag and lanyard; those who set up the workshop spaces, answer your questions, show you where the toilets are and set up your breakfast and snacks. They run around like nobody’s business and help out with so many other things behind the scenes that you never see. They are absolute stars.
In return, we aim to offer them a fantastic volunteering experience with access to much of the conference content itself - an experience that they will never forget (and maybe even want to repeat)!
I had the pleasure of working closely with two of this year’s volunteer crew, both of whom declared an interest in all things communications before the event. Lewis and Lorna did a wonderful job supporting the media activities during the conference. Naturally, they have been equally adept with their post-event communications, and have taken to Medium to share their experiences.
Take a look at Lorna’s blog post in full:

We couldn’t run UX London without our crew - if you have volunteered with us before, thank you for all of your help and hard work. If you haven’t and want to find out more, please get in touch.
We hope to see you next year!
