BACKGROUND

Following on from the success of the previous editions of the 24-hour conference on global organized crime (OC24) in the last three years, this year’s OC24 conference continues to virtually bring together scholars and practitioners.

GENERAL VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES

We have received a great number of interests, panel and paper submissions. Therefore, volunteers play a significant role in helping to run the conference smoothly. Volunteers will be arranged in teams, and will be asked to:

  • Be available to assist during the conference dates 18-19 October 2023, and about 5 hours per week in the 2-3 weeks leading to the conference.
  • Support the conference organization and logistics tasks, including (but not limited to) coordinating with the speakers and panellists, managing the sessions’ presentations and videos, ensuring the panels run smoothly without technical problems, taking notes of the sessions, etc.
  • Support the conference communication and social media tasks, including (but not limited to) promoting the conference on various social media channels.

The conference will run in five parallel tracks with 75-minute sessions and 15-minute breaks in between sessions. Volunteers will report to the conference secretariat and receive a letter of appreciation after the conference ends.
