Volunteers at the heart of TEDxEuston

Today, five days to TEDxEuston 2013, we celebrate our volunteers. On Saturday, they will be at the heart of the delivery of the event, but the work has long started on social media, on the registration platform and will continue long after the event on Saturday.You will find some at the registration desk, on the book stand, working with the various media outlets attending, keeping everyone to time and  generally attending to all your needs.  On Saturday – do not hesitate to ask any of them for help – they will go out of their way to solve any problem you have, the best they can.

Volunteering on TEDxEuston, is special, special for the volunteers, special for the team. There is little else that gives such fulfillment, as to contribute to a journey that says a lot about our shared humanity as it says about ourselves. Last Saturday, we gathered at a central London venue, for what we have called our annual packing party! "Party" indeed you may think, cynically! But what is a party - well, I have just looked it up; and "it is a social gathering of invited guests, typically involving eating, drinking, and entertainment". It was indeed a beautiful party, yes we packed, but we also had great music, food, drinks and a sense of purpose that will be hard to match!We are definitely all fired up for Saturday - its time to deliver!
