About
Advancing Careers in Technical Women (ACT-W) conferences run on the energy of our volunteers who care about empowering women and supporters in technology. The ACT-W Austin Conference is an annual two-day action-packed educational and networking event where talented women and allies can build skills, grow their community, and accelerate their career path. The conference includes speaking sessions, hands-on workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, a career fair, happy hours, and more!
As a volunteer, you’ll be a vital part of the conference and help to create a welcoming and outstanding conference experience for 300+ participants from Central Texas area and beyond. The volunteer experience provides an unique opportunity to participate in the conference activities. Volunteers will be responsible for various conference duties such as staffing the registration/information booth, crowd management, assisting speakers and pre-conference course instructors, and communicating information about the conference.
