Hi Jason, Some great suggestions in this thread. There's plenty of volunteer work around the esports and gaming event area and you get to meet some amazing people in the process. They have special requirements that typically exceed the capabilities and flexibility of venue-provided equipment,

I can second events like this, even if you're not directly on the hardware itself you get a lot of good experience with layer 1 - running cables and generally getting to troubleshoot networks (a lot of event attendees need assistance, volunteer for the helpdesk!)

Hey Jason, You'd want to be looking at NFP orgs that run events as a good place to start for volunteering. I, with a group of passionate gamers run Red Flag Lanfest (RFLAN) in Perth a few times a year. In 18 hours we build a wired and wireless network for ~ 900 gamers for 24 hours of tourname

Most events will just use whatever the conference site provides as a service. For those that need more than that are generally savvy enough themselves as a community to know what they need and have the resources and expertise to do it themselves. > On 16 Apr 2018, at 11:52 am, Jason Leschnik
