When a big group of international guests needs a contact person, that just might be you. Without you all is lost! You will receive a participant experience training. Stage Hosts

Very much linked to the social media team, your role is to provide our social media team and partners with real-time visual content (= pictures and potentially videos) to share in their channels. This is a chance for anyone interested in photography to try it out in a more professional setting.
