OVMA is seeking volunteers to serve as moderators during every session at the MVC. Moderators are tasked with introducing and assisting speakers as needed during their presentations. This is your chance to meet your favorite speakers and help the MVC run smoothly!
What is a Session Moderator?
A Session Moderator is an attendee who serves as an "ambassador" to one or more speakers. They remain in the room while the speaker presents in case they need assistance. Duties include:
The Perks of Moderating
VIP networking op-purr-tunities
Moderating is the easiest way to get acquainted with the speakers you’re introducing, as well as meet audience members.
Fetch a free lunch
Moderate three or more sessions per day, and enjoy lunch on us! This gives you even more opportunities to meet speakers and other members of the veterinary community.
Howl about free parking?
Moderate three or more sessions per day, and we’ll cover that day’s parking in these lots:
A chance to win purr-fect prizes
Every session you moderate earns you an entry into a raffle for one of four Amazon gift cards. The more sessions you moderate, the better your odds!
Put some bark in your bio
Moderating is a great way to build your public speaking skills. Pro tip: You can list volunteering at the MVC on your resume and LinkedIn profile!
What's the catch?
Any attendee is invited to become a moderater, but you must be registered to attend on the day(s) you volunteer. (In other words, it's not a way to attend the MVC for free... Sorry!)
