Volunteer for IIBEC...

The International Indigenous Business & Entrepreneurship Conference is currently seeking the assistance of over 150 volunteers to make its International Conference a success. We hope those of you who will be attending this year's conference will consider signing up as a volunteer. Examples of volunteer activities include stuffing conference bags, welcoming attendees, working in the information booth, as an Expo monitor, or a session assistant, just to name a few. A key component for a successful conference is the valuable contribution of volunteers during the IIBEC Conference. Please join us!
