INTERESTED IN BEING A VOLUNTEER?
Q-Con is the biggest non-profit gaming convention in the UK, but it wouldn’t happen without our amazing team of volunteers.
Whether a veteran or newcomer, Q-Con is an incredibly rewarding experience. Our volunteers gain new skills, make friends in the community and see what it takes to run a convention.
Plenty of areas need help, including consoles, trade, registration and other events, so there is a role to fit everyone’s interest.

“Q-CON ISN’T JUST AN EVENT; IT’S A VIBRANT COLLISION OF FANDOMS AND NERDERY, AND IT’S GREAT TO BE A PART OF THE EXCITEMENT. FROM HELPING SETTING UP BOOTHS TO MAKING SURE ATTENDEES KNOW WHERE TO GO AND WHAT’S ON, IT’S GREAT FUN MAKING SURE EVERYTHING GOES SMOOTHLY.”
