About TEDxUSC: In March of
2009, TEDxUSC became the very first TEDx event ever held in the world. The
event sparked a global phenomenon that has resulted in more than 3200 TEDx
events in more than 90 countries and 40 different languages. TEDxUSC is produced
and managed by the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation. The role of volunteers
at TEDxUSC: Volunteers play a crucial role in the execution of TEDxUSC. Through
TEDxUSC, the Trojan family hosts one of the world’s leading TEDx events and one
with very high visibility on the world stage. This year volunteer roles are
focused around the beautiful interactive lounge being developed by Executive
Producer Ian Murphy. The lounge will be located in Alumni Park and host 1200
attendees. Volunteers will be the prime interface between TEDxUSC and our
attendees, vendors, sponsors, and demos in the lounge. We rely on them to help
cement these relationships and provide the most TED-like experience to our
guests. Specific roles: Volunteer roles may include assisting with the setup of
demos in the lounge, assisting vendors with the preparation and service of
foods, processing attendees as they check-in, providing directions from the
attendee information booth, ushering, assisting sponsors, and shadowing
directors of the event. Another very important role will be set-up and
strike-down pre- and post-event. Benefits of volunteering: TEDxUSC is a very
large undertaking and provides a great experience in event management. Our
volunteers also receive a letter of participation, apparel, and opportunities
to network with the TED-minded USC crowd at the volunteer/staff party.
