Join WildOut — Become Staff!

A calm and welcoming atmosphere is ensured first and foremost by the Security team!

As a member of this department, you’ll help us make sure everything runs smoothly and that attendees can enjoy the events to the fullest. And let's not forget… acting professional is important, but a healthy dose of friendliness and a cheerful attitude are just as important 😉

Think you’d be a good fit for us? Here are some of the most important tasks and requirements for this team:

• Checking badges within the event areas
• Remaining clearly visible and available in case of any questions or concerns from attendees
• Keeping an eye on the situation within the event spaces
• Being able to work as part of a team when necessary
• Good ability to prevent inappropriate situations or behaviour
• A basic knowledge of English

Don’t worry: we don’t expect you to act alone! Our team will provide you with the guidance and informations you need to carry out your role to the best of your ability. This role is particularly suited to those who can stay focused in sensitive situations, as well as those who feel at ease interacting with participants and venue staff.

Do you enjoy helping others, and making attendees feel safe gives you a great sense of fulfilment? We’re looking for someone just like you!

Please remember that holding a BLS first-aid certificate is essential to apply for this role!

As part of the first-aid team, you’ll help us provide assistance to anyone in need during the event. Here’s how:

• Providing basic first aid, such as treating minor injuries or trauma
• Ensuring that first-aid kits are fully stocked and always ready for use
• Working closely with the Security team

An excellent role for anyone who believes they can keep a clear head and handle situations that are a little more challenging than usual.

If putting on a show is your thing, we're looking for you! The Stage Crew team makes sure everything runs smoothly at events taking place on the main stage, specifically:

• Technical management of audio and lighting, including equipment checks
• Helping the Stage Crew lead keep everything in order from a technical standpoint, ensuring events run on schedule
• Working and communicating with Security, especially before and during main stage events

Being available from early arrival is appreciated, so that equipment checks and any run-throughs can be done in advance.

DJs are the lifeblood of our nights at WildOut! Fancy giving us a hand in making our sound system sound just right? You’ve come to the right place! If you’re already familiar with this scene, our requirements are few and far between:

• Coordination with other DJs to decide each DJ's on-stage time
• A minimum of flexibility in adapting your style to the genre required by the event’s theme, should this also affect the music selection

Apply via the form below and come and let us hear what you're capable of!

Art is one of the cornerstones of the furry community, and without artists, WildOut simply couldn’t exist! If you’d like to help us bring colour and life to our events, this is the right place for you! The art department is responsible for the following tasks:

• Creating and conceptualising designs for merchandise, stage sets and decorations
• Designing various posters and artworks for upcoming events
• Knowledge of graphic design is appreciated but not essential, in order to best implement your creations on the website and/or social networks!
• Ability to create a consistent atmosphere in line with the chosen theme for a specific event

Do you enjoy experimenting with graphic design software, and is creativity your strong point? Our team might just be the right fit for you!
Would you like to lend a paw in giving WildOut an increasingly eye-catching visual identity? Here’s who we’re looking for and what we do here:

• Designing badges, lanyards and any merchandise featuring specific graphics
• Working closely with the Social media team
• Creating designs for signage and event maps
• Layout of promotional material such as flyers and conbooks
• A reasonable knowledge of software or tools such as Canva, Creative Suite, Inkscape or similar

Is there a task that, on the face of it, doesn’t fall within any other department’s remit? Then it’s very likely it’s up to us! Joking aside, the ConOps team carries out a range of essential tasks to ensure the event runs smoothly, each quite different from the next. Wanna help us but not quite sure how? This could be the department for you! Here’s what we do:

• Handling general enquiries from participants
• Welcoming and checking in attendees
• Managing and organising the dealers’ den and the participating artists
• Managing lost and found items
• Supporting attendees with reduced mobility

This team is at the heart of the experience attendees will enjoy, and its aim is to create increasingly engaging events through panels and activities of all kinds. We work closely with panelists and the Stage crew to give each WildOut edition its own unique identity. This is what the team will be responsible for:

• Planning and reviewing the activity schedule
• Interacting with attendees who have proposed panels or activities, approving them in conjunction with the board staff and scheduling them accordingly
• Adapting the schedule to any changes that may arise during the events
• Applying the chosen themes for the events in the most appropriate way, adapting the available activities and stage sets as necessary 

An excellent role for those who are flexible, have good communication skills and enjoy working as part of a team.

Fursuiters are the life and soul of the party, but it's essential to ensure they can always find a space where they can cool down for a few minutes and recover. The Fursuit Lounge team is responsible of just this, specifically:

• Ensuring food and drinks are available
• Making sure that fursuiters who stop by the lounge are feeling well and aren’t too tired
• Checking that each fursuiter is accompanied by no more than one spotter
• Preventing unauthorised attendees from entering the lounge (fursuit badges checking)
• Keeping the area designated for fursuiters clean and tidy, as well as ensuring that the equipment inside remains in its place and is in working order

Wanna help us lend a paw to these magnificent creatures? We're waiting for you!

Social media is the primary way WildOut presents itself to the public and communicates everything attendees need to know: before, after, and especially during events! Can’t wait to join us? Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Excellent knowledge of the most popular social media platforms, including managing our Telegram channel, Instagram, X and BlueSky profiles
• Good communication and writing skills
• Basic knowledge of image editing software and/or tools such as Canva or similar, for creating graphic content
• Being an artist or a graphic designer isn’t essential, but having skills in either of these fields can be a bonus

The team also interacts with Security and ConOps during events. Any information regarding changes to the schedule or cancellations must be communicated to participants through the appropriate channels!

Photographer? Great! Videomaker? Brilliant! Both? Even better! This team needs little introduction! However, as well as capturing the best moments at events and allowing us to relive them once we’re back home, there are a couple of other things we focus on here, including:

• Developing and editing videos/short films if required. Knowledge of software such as DaVinci Resolve and/or Adobe equivalents is a bonus
• Managing any photo shoot set-ups during specific time slots at events

If you’d like to help us show the public what goes on at WildOut, we can’t wait to have you on board!

Here, we focus on finding the right role for every volunteer willing to lend a paw to WildOut. If you think you have excellent organisational skills, this is the role for you! Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Ability to assign the most suitable roles to volunteers (e.g. drawing up an organisational chart)
• Managing and optimising internal communication between departments

Did everything go smoothly when you registered for the last WildOut event? Well, that’s mostly thanks to the IT team! If you’d like to help us ensure users have a seamless registration and browsing experience on our website, this is the team for you. We’re looking for people who are willing to:

• Help the IT lead manage the database and registration system, implementing new features where necessary. Any experience with Python is a bonus
• Manage and develop WildOut’s landing page and main website, with a good knowledge of WordPress and Elementor

It’s the perfect role if you enjoy seeing and managing what goes on behind the scenes at events!

Are tabletops, video games and RPGs your bread and butter? Then why not bring your passion to WildOut too? Board games have always been a great way to socialise and encourage interaction amongst attendees! If you’d like to, here’s how you can lend a paw:

• Managing the video game consoles and tabletops area
• Organising and running tournaments
• Explaining the rules of the available games where necessary

The perfect department if you enjoy being on the move, setting things up and taking them down! The Logistics team is essential in helping us get the event spaces ready on time. In fact, we take care of:

• Preparing the rooms for the various activities
• Setting up and dismantling the spaces, before and after the event. You’ll need to carry equipment, some of which may be heavy. We particularly appreciate those who are willing to lend a paw by setting up and dismantling during early and late con-days

If you fancy taking on a more dynamic and fast-paced role than usual, this is the right choice for you!
