Volunteers will work closely with COT leads and help ensure smooth delivery of key conference processes, particularly around programme review, scholarships, communications, logistics, trust & safety and documentation.

Timeline: January – October 2026
Time commitment: Varies by role (approx. 2–6 hrs/week during peak periods)
Location: Remote, with onsite opportunities during the conference (October 2026)

Who Should Apply

We encourage applications from:

  • Wikimedians active in language, program, community, or affiliate work
  • People with experience in event support, reviews, logistics, or documentation
  • Individuals comfortable working in collaborative, deadline-driven environments

Previous conference organising experience is helpful but not required.
