Helping at the event (aka. be an angel)

Would you like to be an angel and help with DENOG15? Want to contribute with your skill and strength, meet other people, have a look behind the scene, just help out? For most of the roles you don’t need any specific experience and you will learn everything you need for the job in our briefings on-site.

If you like to contribute, please register in the engel system (see below).

Registration for Angel

We have decided to use the angel system that the CCC also uses for its congress. This means that the system may look quite familiar to you.

Please register at https://engel.denog.de and indicate your availability by signing up as ‘Availability Indication Angel (“here I have time”)’ in the ‘Availability Indication Shift (“here I have time”)’. We ask you to include your real name, email address and phone number so that we can recognize and reach you. We will then group you into the different shifts and roles. There will be an onsite briefing of all Angels every morning and additionally appropriate to the role. If you’re attending online only, you can volunteer to help in venueless.

If you have any questions, please contact us at event@denog.de.
