Before.
Start with clear expectations.
The plan lives in a spreadsheet. The conversation lives somewhere else. The people making it happen need to know what they’re committing to.
From availability to a real yesStaff the convention.
Count every hour.
A convention runs on people. Give volunteers and staff a clearer way to show up, help out, and have their work count.
Chirp is in development. We’re inviting pilot organizations to help shape it.
During.
A yes isn’t the same as here.
A message goes out. Someone offers to help. But who’s actually on their way, and who has arrived? Keep people and commitments connected when plans change.
From a request to people in the roomAfter.
Let the work count.
The convention ends. The contribution shouldn’t disappear into a chat thread or someone’s memory. Give people a trustworthy record of the time they gave.
From actual service to approved hoursNot just places to fill.
People to coordinate.
Chirp is being built for the relationship between convention organizers and the volunteers and staff who make the event possible.
For organizers, that means a clearer view of where help is needed and who has committed. For volunteers, it means knowing where they can contribute, what they’ve agreed to, and how their service is recorded.
Planned shifts and last-minute help belong in the same story, from preparation through teardown. So do the hours that happen before the doors open.
Explore the connected staffing loopHelp shape the next shift.
We’re inviting convention organizations to help shape Chirp around the realities of staffing an event. Bring your workflows, your workarounds, and the things you wish didn’t fall between the cracks.
