Responsibilities are, but not limited to, keeping up with the schedule and learning the equipment that ASTL will be providing to the panelists, as well as checking on and helping set up the panelists session every hour upon the hour to make sure the schedule is going on time. You will also be doing head counts and be readily available if something happens to go wrong during a panel. This is a physical position where you will be on your feet most of the convention. Also includes assisting with line and crowd control.
