Description of different Engel roles

In the following we’d like to describe the different roles throughout the event, so that you can get an idea about the different takes.

Check-In & Info Point

The Check-In & Info Point Engel helps at the central contact point of the conference, the Info Point. This is where visitors come to register and when they have questions or need something.

Tasks:

• Welcoming conference visitors (attendees), scanning ticket QR codes
• Handing out badges and conference T-shirts, etc.
• Pointing out features at the conference such as the attendee wall or job board
• Listening to and solving attendee requests

Attendee Wall

Next to the Info Point and in the process of check-in the next station will be the Attendee Wall. We’ll shoot an instant photo of every attendee and pin it to a big pin board.

Tasks:

• Make an instant photo of every new attendee
• Pin it to the wall and stick a sticker with the attendee’s details underneath.

Herald

The Herald Engel is on stage and helps to ensure and moderate a smooth program flow.

Tasks:

• Preparation of the speaker
• Introduction and closing of the speakers, talks and workshops
• Moderating questions in the subsequent Q&A

General Support

The General Support Engel is a true Engel-for-all, the universal genius. Helping out wherever help is needed.

Tasks:

• Be flexible and ready to get stuck in :)

Social Build-up Engel

The Social Build-up Engel is helping with building up and preparing the Social event. Important: You need to be ok with leaving the conference location on Monday in the early afternoon.

Open House Call

This call is aimed to give a brief overview and give space for a Q&A.

Next Thursday, November 14th at 19:00 the link will be sent to the signal group
