Closing thoughts

Most staff members are required to put in roughly 20+ hours during the convention, plus extra time before the convention (as preparation).

FanimeCon Staff members are not paid. The spiffy "Staff" badge, the staff room rate, and the satisfaction of a job well done are the main rewards for all staffers.

If you aren't sure if you can make a full commitment to a staff position, consider being a volunteer for FanimeCon.

All staff members must be at least 16 years old at the start of the Convention. Some departments require their staffers to be 18+ or 21+. Other departments may have separate requirements, depending on what they do.

Thank you very much for your interest in FanimeCon 2025 and we hope to see you soon!
