For Super 2026

Volunteers are required to purchase admission to the event, but are eligible for various rewards, including swag, food, badge refunds, and even complimentary admission to future events. The more hours you put in, the more rewards you get! Some hours are weighted more than others (such as highly-skilled jobs or late-night shifts), so you can choose a schedule that works best for you.

We have three types of volunteers:

• Pre-Registered Volunteers

• Staffers

• At-Event Volunteers (Or Walk-On)
