39C3: Call for Angels
39C3 needs your help! No Congress would be possible without the many volunteers, called Angels (German: Engel).
Whether you’re participating for the first time or have already experienced many cycles, helping as an Angel is always a great way to meet new beings, get a look behind the scenes, and create unforgettable experiences for yourself and others.
If you’d like to help, register in the Engelsystem. After your arrival at Congress, come to the Angel registration on the right side of the entrance hall. There you’ll receive your Angel badge and can then freely sign up for shifts for upcoming tasks. Alternatively you can find Heaven in Hall X. If you already own a lanyard for your Angel badge, please bring it and continue using it. You can find more information in the Angel Guide.
For the buildup and especially for the teardown, we always need many helping hands. So if you can come earlier or stay a bit longer after the event, we look forward to your help. Help is particularly needed during teardown, especially from beings who haven’t already exhausted themselves during the buildup and Congress. The buildup begins on 20 December. From then until the start of Congress, there will be numerous tasks each day, especially distributing sofas, tables, and chairs. Please do not come before the 20th, tasks and infrastructure are only available from that day.
To help with the buildup, just come by starting on the 20th! Access to the CCH during buildup is (as usual) via the back side (Tiergartenstraße) through the entrance to Hall H. During the buildup you can find Heaven as Pre-Heaven directly in Hall H. We’ll announce any changes to the buildup information in the Engelsystem and on Mastodon.
Please remember during the event, especially as an Angel, to supply yourself with food and water. We’re happy to support this with Angel water at Heaven. Please bring your own refillable water bottle to save resources. There is also a possibility to receive warm meals. However, please note that the food is limited by the kitchen’s capacity and is primarily intended for Angels who have no alternatives. To coordinate this (and prevent a kitchen DDoS), digital food vouchers for meals will be issued this year via the Engelsystem. We’ll inform you about the exact procedure in the Engelsystem News.
This year the teams paid special attention to provide more detailed shift information. That way you can judge for yourself whether a shift fits you.
If you have further questions, we are there for you in Heaven.
Heavenly regards and see you very soon,
An Angel
