Creative Tech Week needs volunteers during the year and both volunteers and paid temporary staff during our festival.

During the year, we rely on unpaid staff and interns. Our team is made up of seasoned professionals; if you are an expert in your field with the desire to give back you will feel at home with our team. When it comes to interns, we need self-starters who do not need hand-holding to figure out what needs to be done and tackle it. We are happy to speak with your department about credit and you can attend our events for free.
