Help organise and publicise our conferences!

Coordination / Projects volunteers needed for Green Economics Institute Trust

To enhance and develop our conferences and to help as part of a team with publicising the conference.

Tasks include:

  • Organising the timetable
  • Organising speakers
  • Helping run the event- ensuring the partipants know about it and the speakers know when they are on
  • Choosing speakers and liasing with them and participants.
  • Publicising it on social media
  • Writing articles about it for our magazines.

Volunteers will be working with a team during the conference to ensure the best experience for the participants.

(We are running a conference on October 14th – 16th 2021 – online and we would like team help preparing it – from now till then – and ideally to carry on afterwards for any subsequent events.

We also have a delegation to the COP26 United Nations climate conference and would like help preparing that – its the first 2 weeks in November 2021. Either on line or in person – its not been decided yet.)
