Welcome to the Team!
Running a three-day anime convention is a huge undertaking that requires dedication and collaboration from a passionate team. It’s challenging but incredibly rewarding, offering opportunities to meet amazing people, interact with guests, attend fun events, be creative, and engage with the community. And the best part? You’ll be part of an unforgettable experience!
Qualifications
We’re looking for five key qualities in our team members:
- A strong work ethic
- Kindness and respect toward others
- Ability to meet deadlines
- Excellent communication skills
- Emotional intelligence
If you have these qualities, we’d love to have you!
Join as a Volunteer
Not ready to commit to a full staff role? No problem! If you’re looking for a more flexible way to get involved, check out our volunteer page. Volunteers help with simple tasks and have limited responsibilities during the event in exchange for free entry. It’s a great way to be part of the action without the time commitment!
Join as a Staff Member
As a staff member, you’ll be involved in the planning process and help make the convention a reality! Staff are required to attend monthly meetings (either in-person or virtually) to stay updated on convention operations. While all positions are unpaid, we offer several perks:
- A staff badge
- Access to the staff lounge with snacks and refreshments
- Taiyou Con merchandise
- An invitation to the staff dinners
You’ll also have the chance to gain valuable experience, receive letters of recommendation, and get a referral for future job opportunities. Essentially, you’ll be bartering your time and effort for these awesome perks.
