3. Why become a Volunteer?
We rely upon volunteers to make the Big Data Festival a reality. Volunteers
help us from tweeting, to checking in attendees to helping with Q&A at
events. Have a particular city in mind? Or a particular event? Let us know
and we will do our best to connect you with the organiser! Volunteering is
an ideal way to get a deeper sense of experience from the many
events taking place during Big Data Festival – meet and greet the attendees,
have coffee with industry leaders and gain behind the scene access
