The deadline to volunteer is Sept 15.

Age requirement for volunteers 18 years and up. 

You do not need any special knowledge or skills to participate but there will be some simple training and need to volunteer a certain number of hours at the convention to get a Fanx pass. 

There are a limited number of volunteer passes. The pass gets the volunteer in the building and access to the vendor floor for all three days. It does not include backstage access or access to panels, celebrities or photo ops. 

Please leave younger children at home. A regular Fanx pass allows kids under 10 in free with the holder but the volunteer pass will only get the volunteer in. We are promoting and representing SLCC and volunteers need to be directly affiliated with SLCC and not the children of students/faculty.

Please contact Janalee Harrison to get involved Janalee.harrison@slcc.edu, SI 275
