Tech Events Liaison

This person helps to figure out what the technical requirements of Arisia Events are, and documents them for the rest of the tech team. You should have previous tech experience in a convention or festival setting, where one stage serves many different performances. Many Arisia events involve less-experienced performers; you may need to help them identify their technical support needs. This is primarily a pre-con position; at-con you should attend the daily tech meetings to clarify any tech requirements.

Arisia TV Program Coordinator

During the convention, Arisia TV (ATV) presents live coverage of some events, as well as playing genre movies and TV episodes, and presents information about the convention.

The Arisia TV Program Coordinator:

• coordinates with the Video Director to select events for live broadcast on ATV
• gathers information slides to be shown between features on ATV and works with the ATV technical staff to finalize them
• creates a schedule filling four days of ATV time with live broadcast events, re-runs of live events, information slides, and movies and TV episodes of interest to the convention
• ensures that the schedule goes to publications and is included in the pocket program etc
• coordinates with the ATV technical staff to get video (movies, etc) onto the ATV server in an appropriate format

This is entirely a pre-con position. It’s a good opportunity for a film or video buff to share with the rest of the convention. You should be good at communication via email, and meeting deadlines. This position requires minimal technical expertise - you should be willing to learn about the requirements of our video system, and you should be very comfortable with spreadsheets.
