AlterConf has grown tremendously since we launched the series this past summer. Run by one organizer and an assistant, crafting a unique experience for audiences all over the world every month is a daunting amount of work! This has left the blog half abandoned.

Because our goal with AlterConf is to provide a space for marginalized people to get the recognition they deserve for their work (and to be fairly paid for it!), we've decided to add freelancer opportunities at each Session.

We'll be seeking out individuals who'd like to take photos, blog, sketchnote, or otherwise memorialize each Session. Blog posts, photos, and sketchnotes will be added to the site alongside the name, short bio, photo or avatar, and a link or two of the person who created it. Individuals will be paid upon delivery and we agree to not post any material until you've verified that you've received payment, which we will send by check or paypal. We prefer to work with marginalized people, but belonging to a marginalized group is not a requirement.

Requirements:

  • have a ticket for the Session (available from $0-100)
  • be able to attend for the full length of the Session
  • be from the Session's surrounding area

 

If you're interested, you can send a sample blog post, photos, or sketchnotes along with your name, Session you're interested in, a short bio, a photo/avatar, and your rate via this application.
