We are now looking for security stewards for Junction!
Do you want to be a security steward at Europe’s largest Hackathon? AYY and Junction are looking for security stewards.
Junction is the largest annual hackathon in Europe and will be held on 15-17 Nov 2019 in Otaniemi, Espoo. The event is organised by volunteers. Thus, security stewards also do volunteer work. At Junction, security stewards get to be part of the entire team and receive the same volunteer benefits as other volunteers. Junction offers food and beverages during the event, a t-shirt and other accessories, but there is no payment for the work. Before the event, there is one joint meeting with the entire security steward team. Restaurant food and beverages will also be provided at this meeting. After the event, you can attend the afterparty with an open bar. More information on the Junction https://2019.hackjunction.com/
If you want to be a security steward at Junction but do not have the security steward card yet, you still have the time to complete the course in October. By working in the event, you can complete one of the three AYY events required from security stewards.
If you already have the card, please contact us to join the Junction family.
