Volunteer FAQ

You must be 18 years or older to volunteer. Please bring a valid photo ID to collect your accreditation. Applicants under 18 cannot be granted access to the programme or the summit.

The volunteer programme cannot assist with visa applications or provide invitation letters. Obtaining a visa remains entirely your responsibility.

• Register your interest in the ATIGS Volunteer Programme.
• Pre-event confirmation: a few weeks before the summit you will receive an email asking you to confirm continued interest and complete the volunteer form.
• Selection: the Volunteer Management Team reviews applications and selects participants.
• Shift selection: if selected, you will receive an email to choose your preferred shifts.
• Confirmation: once you confirm availability you become an official ATIGS Volunteer and receive final role and logistics details before the summit.

Volunteers commit to at least one full-day shift of 6–12 hours. There is no maximum — take on more for a richer volunteer experience.

Multiple areas are available, including registration, logistics, guest services, media and operations. Full details are published on the ATIGS Volunteer Platform.
