We recommend volunteers also purchase a conference ticket or annual Hasgeek membership\, if you're able to — this isn't a condition of volun teering\, but it directly supports the community you're contributing your time to.\n\n---\n\n## General logistics {#h:logistics}\n\n**Setup (pre-eve nt)**\n\n\n**Reporting times**\n\n**Dress code**\nComfortable clothing and shoes suited to walking and standing for extended periods.
