More than a few days at VDS, this is where your crew begins

Experience VDS from the inside

Become part of the team that makes the event possible and see how an international tech event works behind the scenes, experiencing VDS from a unique perspective up close.

Build real connections

Work alongside people from different universities, cities and professional backgrounds. You will be surrounded by founders, startups, investors and professionals from around the world, creating connections beyond the event.

Learn by doing

Develop practical skills in teamwork, communication, organisation, problem-solving and working with the public. It is real experience that can also add value to your CV and future professional path.

What you get as a VDS volunteer

GET READY

Receive training before the event and all the information you need to understand your role and responsibilities.

MEET THE CREW

Join a meetup with the other volunteers before VDS, get to know the team and start building connections before the event begins.

VOLUNTEER PERKS

Receive your official volunteer T-shirt, meals during your shifts and the possibility of accessing selected VDS activities.

KEEP MOVING

Receive a certificate confirming your participation and stay connected through NextTalent Crew with year-round opportunities and activities.

Volunteer at VDS. Stay for what comes next

To join the VDS volunteer team, you first need to become part of NextTalent Crew. We made this change because volunteering should not last just a few days or end when the event does. NextTalent Crew keeps the people, connections and opportunities going throughout the year.
