The carpet extends through an open doorway into a darker room with rows of chairs and a glowing screen in the background. The walls are covered with yellow banners featuring black text.

They are dressed in a black T-shirt with a yellow logo, a crossbody bag, and a yellow accreditation badge. Next to them, a smiling woman with long blonde hair is wearing a black festival T-shirt, a green skirt, and a yellow accreditation badge. She holds a black bag and some papers. The background features a plain gray wall.
A young woman with dark hair and a yellow T-shirt smiles as she hands a visitor a black tote bag with yellow print. She stands behind a wooden booth with a chalkboard sign that reads “Bags” and “Shirts for free.” In the foreground, a hand reaches out to receive the bag. Yellow pennant banners hang decoratively at the booth.

For Volunteers

As a volunteer, you’ll support the festival on a voluntary basis during our major events—Opening, AI Camp, and Closing—as well as in other exciting tasks throughout the festival week. Just reach out and let us know how you'd like to help! Volunteers can assist in many different areas, including check-in and accreditation, participant support, helping out with speakers and stages, and handling setup and logistics.

No prior experience is needed! We welcome new faces and fresh energy, whether you’re already part of the community or experiencing the festival for the first time. Before your shift, you'll receive onboarding and a detailed briefing to make sure you're well-prepared. All you need is motivation, teamwork, and a willingness to lend a hand. You should be available for at least one shift during the festival.

As a volunteer, you’ll have the chance to connect with inspiring people from the digital and creative industries while getting exclusive behind-the-scenes access. You'll also have opportunities to develop new skills, take on responsibilities, and actively shape the digital future of the region. To show our appreciation, you’ll receive a festival goodie bag, meals during your shifts, and a festival certificate recognizing your contribution. This certificate can be a great addition to your resume or LinkedIn profile. Plus, you'll become part of our volunteer network, allowing you to stay connected with the community even after the festival. Outside of your shifts, you can also attend most of the festival’s events for free.

Unfortunately, we can’t cover travel or accommodation expenses. However, if you’re coming from out of town and need recommendations for affordable lodging, we’re happy to help with suggestions.

Yes! We want you to have fun, meet new people, and feel like part of the community. That’s why we host a kickoff event where you can meet your team before the festival starts. After the festival, we’ll invite you to a volunteer appreciation party where everyone can reconnect and share their experiences. Step outside your usual circle, see the festival from a whole new perspective, and become part of a unique community!

There are many exciting ways to get involved at the Nürnberg Digital Festival. At Check-in & Accreditation, you'll welcome festival guests, distribute badges and materials, and ensure a smooth entry process. In Stage & Speaker Support, you'll assist speakers, keep track of schedules, manage event spaces, and help everything run smoothly on stage. The Community Support team takes care of info points and merch stands while answering festival guests’ questions. If you prefer working behind the scenes, the Logistics & Setup Crew is the place for you—you’ll help with setup and takedown, distribute materials, and keep things running efficiently. Creative minds can join the Media Crew, capturing special festival moments with a camera or assisting the team in making NUEDIGITAL more visible. If you have a unique skill that perfectly fits the festival but doesn’t quite fit into these categories, you can contribute in the Your Unique Superpower section and bring your own talents to the event.
