Make hotel reservations now, see http://www.arisia.org/Hotel. If you have trouble with anything, email innkeeper@arisia.org. And don't forget to make a special request if you need one.

Do you want to welcome everyone to Arisia? Are you calm under pressure as well as friendly? At Con Registration Staff need to be able to use a computer well (search, point and click), follow written procedures, maintain a happy, helpful presence in the face of thousands of attendees, and handle money and credit card machines accurately. The work is not physically demanding, but requires a lot of mental and social engagement with few breaks.

Do you like feeding people? Are you super organized and comfortable taking on a leadership roles behind the scenes of a convention? Are you local? Arisia is looking for an Assistant Division Head of Food Services. The ADH of Food will assist the Div Head to recruit people to lead Food Areas, work with that year's Arisia leadership group to find appropriate hotel space for their areas, make a realistic budget for the division, provide guidance to staff in the division, and accurately represent needs for the division.
