KuroNekoCon is a 100% volunteer-run event. From the most involved Board of Directors to the day-of volunteers who donate their time to make sure the staff make it through the weekend, no one receives monetary compensation for the time they donate to the convention. It’s people like you who decide they want to step in to make something better that make this convention possible. No matter how little or how much time you have to dedicate, there’s an opportunity for you to make an impact.

Saturday
See Calendar for Exact Date
6:30PM.
Ending time depends on topics to be covered, but will not go past 8PM.
If you have a few extra hours of time over the weekend, but don’t want to or have the ability to be involved with the convention year round, this is the opportunity for you! Volunteers donate a small portion of their weekend while making a big impact – then have the rest of the weekend to enjoy the convention.
Volunteers who donate at least 9 hours of their time over the course of the Convention Weekend will receive complimentary membership for the weekend of KNC.
Staff members stay involved all year with organization and planning, and work together to develop the future of KuroNekoCon as a convention. Staff also have the opportunity to work on other events with KuroNekoCultural Association throughout the year (OtakuProm, Educational events, etc).
The staff structure has varying levels of responsibility and commitment:
Assistant Staff are not required to attend in person staff meetings, and may interact with their department coordinators via email or other online communication. Assistant Staff can join committees and be involved with organizing events and long term projects, and this level of staffing is an excellent fit for those who want to donate skills and time to a convention they love, but either live too far away or have work schedules that can not align with Staff Meetings on Saturdays.
Due to the low engagement requirement, Assistant staff members do not have voting priveledges or the ability to run for leadership positions. However, Assistant Staff may still join Core Staff to gain voting priveledges. Additionally, they will receive badges that say “Assistant Staff” at the convention.
In for a penny, in for a pound! Core Staff members attend General Meetings and stay informed about the inner workings of KuroNekoCon. These staff members have full voting rights at all General Meetings, and can apply for Coordinator positions or run in election for the Board of Directors. If you want to join a team of hard working Japanese pop/culture fans with dedication and perseverance, and have a say in the future of our convention, then this is the community for you.
Core Staff must maintain an attendance of at least 12 meetings a year (an average of one per month), either in person or online via streaming service.
