Fan gatherings occupy a unique space in the world of conferences and conventions. Fandom events typically draw a large, diverse attendee base and require a substantial physical footprint. At the same time, most of the world’s largest fan events are also run as non-profits. They rely heavily on unpaid staffers to run the year-around behind the scenes business of the convention and dozens, if not hundreds, of event-day volunteers to manage crowd control, A/V needs, and guest relations . ASFE is uniquely positioned as our attendees do not pay to attend the event. Instead, the majority of our expenses are covered via private donations, sponsorships and the valuable time of our volunteer staff.
ASFE’s volunteer base includes seasoned staffers from many of the areas most prestigious cons including MomoCon, AnachroCon and Dragon Con. While you won’t be working to ensure a free membership, you’ll gain immeasurable experience in the business of running a convention, network with other convention professionals, and have a great time! At the end of the con, there’s also the annual Dead Dog party.
