The NIDC volunteer team in pink shirts cheering in the International Convention Centre Belfast foyer

Organised by practitioners, run by volunteers. Every year a crew of people from the tech community get together on Saturday to make the conference happen. Here’s what the crew gets up to on the day.

You’ll join a team of people who get it, and see the conference from another angle, behind the scenes of the event of the year for the tech community. Pink t-shirt included. It’s great craic.

What volunteers do

Registration desk, help desk, pointing people the right way, keeping the villages running, moving boxes, and putting up the signs. Everyone picks what suits them, and we sort the rota.

Hosting a track

Every talk track has a volunteer host. Welcome the room, introduce the speaker, keep time, and run the questions. No experience needed, we’ll show you the ropes.

The fun bit

Volunteering is the best way to see the conference from the inside. You spend the day with people who care about the same things you do, and you’re there for the craic after 🙂

Applications closed

Volunteer applications for NIDC 2026 are now closed. A huge thank you to everyone who applied. If you signed up, we’ll be in touch with the details. See you on the day!
