2D Con is held annually and is 100% volunteer based, we rely on our volunteers to organize and run the event. We strive to make sure there are volunteering opportunities for everyone, even without prior volunteering experience!

While these are our expectations for all volunteers, your level of involvement with our event is entirely up to you! You have the freedom to decide whether you want to help with planning sessions or if you’re just helping out during the event itself.
