The Plastic Free Gathering is taking place on Saturday 6th June, 10am-5pm at Watershed, Bristol.
We're a one day summit of talks and workshops that brings together everyone concerned about plastic pollution and single-use plastics, to drive forward ambitious action on plastic. The event will showcase ground breaking ideas and solutions with a programme full of discussions and case studies from those leading the change.
As we are a hybrid event (in person and online), we're looking to recruit Event Technical Assistants to help support the technical aspects of this event. These assistants will be based at the event itself at Watershed and will involve running the Zoom meeting and managing the cameras at the event room
- Approving people coming into the Zoom meeting
- Responding to messages on the Zoom chat
- Checking that Zoom online speakers can share their screen
- Sharing the screen from the laptop - showing the presenter's slides
- Ensuring Zoom attendees are muted when speakers are talking
- Helping Zoom attendees to unmute when asking a question - and informing the in-person host that someone wants to ask a question
- Checking that Zoom attendees can hear the speakers / audience questions
- And most importantly: Switching between webcams to show the person speaking in the room and the audience
This will be a shared role and so you'll be able to work together with others to ensure the above is achieved.
Volunteering to be a Event Technical Assistant will give you direct event expertise to help boost your CV for future roles. It is also a superb opportunity to be part of a national event that is helping to address important environmental issues of single-use plastic and plastic pollution.
Full training will be provided - and we can run through what you'll need to do first thing on the day.
