Position Interest Form

If you already know what you’d like to do to help us put Norwescon 47 together, please let us know by filling out the form on our Volunteers page! If you don’t know what you’d like to do, email volunteers@norwescon.org or come to one of our planning meetings (when they start up again) and we’ll help you figure that out!

Publications Requests

Need to send something in to Publications so we can announce it to the world, update a page on the website or add something new, add it to our program book, or anything along those lines? Make sure you’re giving us everything we need by filling out this form; we’ll give it an editorial pass and then make sure it gets where it needs to go.

Staff Block Room Request

If you are Norwescon staff and would like to stay in the reserved staff block at the hotel during the convention (Wing 7 or the third floor of the tower), please fill out this form to make your request. You must have a DoubleTree room reservation number — if you haven’t yet reserved a room at the hotel, please do that first!

Documentation Wiki

We have started the process of building a documentation wiki for documenting non-confidential internal processes and procedures. This is still in the very early stages, so content is just being added. If you are a current ConCom member and would like to contribute to this project, please email wiki@norwescon.org to request editing access.

Google Group Instructions

Please make sure you are signed up for the Norwescon ConCom mailing list! We manually add staff to this mailing list whenever possible, but missing or changed email addresses can sometimes result in people not being added or not receiving messages.

To make sure you are part of the group:

  1. Go to the norwescon-concom Google group and sign in with your Google credentials OR the email address you believe should be getting messages from the group.
  2. If you see messages, then you’re in and should be getting messages. If you’re not sure you’re getting messages, click on “My membership settings” on the left sidebar and verify your email settings (address and how frequently updates are sent to you).
  3. If you see a “You don’t have permission to access this content” message, you are not a member of the group. Please click on the “Contact owners and managers” link to send an email requesting access to the group. Please be sure to include your name, department, and position in the email so we can verify your eligibility.
