OH!CON Set up and break down team

About this event

Setting up all the various elements of OH!CON is critical to the day going well. It is always a race against time the morning of the con. We need people who can follow the guidelines for each area, use their initiative and get stuff done quickly and efficiently before the doors open. There will be some physical work (such lifting and moving boxes, props and equipment). As well as on the day itself, we will also need some set up and break down help on the Friday before and the Monday following.
