Thank you for your interest in joining the IML volunteer family.  It takes the efforts of all of our volunteers to make the IML weekend a success!

Below is a description of each volunteer role.  Please read the descriptions carefully as some roles are well suited for new volunteers, such as registration, market access, and set-up/tear-down.  Also note that roles previously labeled Ticket Sales, Registration, and Day Pass have all been combined into one department called Guest Services.  


You may sign up for back-to-back shifts as long as they are in the same area and overlap by 30 minutes or less (for example, Market Access from 10:00AM-2:00PM and 1:30PM-5:00PM).   A typical shift is scheduled for four hours and therefore does not come with a scheduled meal break.  When choosing back-to-back shifts please take this into consideration.

All volunteers receive access to the vendor market for the entire weekend.  To receive all the benefits of volunteering, sign up for a minimum of three (3) shifts, or twelve hours.  Once signed up, please keep a close eye on your email for shift confirmation, reminders, and other information.  

Tip:  Use the "Sort By" option below to sort open shifts by date or by role.

If you have any questions please email us at volunteer@imrl.com

Thank you so much for your interest, we can't wait to see you!

Additionally, IML welcomes, affirms, and celebrates diversity in all its forms. Every member of the IML Organization is bound by this code of conduct and will respect and honor the dignity of every person who participates in IML Weekend. We require adherence to this code of conduct as a condition of attending IML. This code of conduct applies to all participants – trustees, staff, volunteers, vendors, contestants, judges, contractors, and attendees – of the IML Weekend. All participants of IML acknowledge that they are attending a sex-positive event that contains some sexually explicit content. All participants of IML must be at least 21 years of age.

Harassment

IML is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for all, regardless of age, race, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, personal beliefs, fetish interests or religion. Harassment of any kind is considered a serious breach of this code of conduct. The policy applies equally to all participants. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

- Non consensual physical contact of any kind
- Unwelcome sexual attention
- Deliberate intimidation, threats, stalking, or following

Participants who are asked to stop harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. NO means NO! If you are asked by another individual to leave them alone, then you must respect their wishes. Individuals experiencing harassment or having a conflict with another attendee should cease further interaction and contact the help desk on the 1st floor of the hotel.

Controlled Substances

IML has a zero-tolerance policy regarding illegal substances. Any person believed to be selling or otherwise distributing any controlled substance will be reported to the appropriate authorities.

Photography and Video Recording

Photography, film, and video recording for personal use is generally allowed. Attendees are asked to be courteous when photographing or filming others and to ask permission prior to recording or taking pictures. If an individual does not wish to be photographed or filmed, their wishes must be respected. Be aware that IML does have official photographers who are identified by unique credentials. By entering an IML venue, you may photographed by them. Wherever possible, IML official photographers will ask permission. However, it is possible that you might inadvertently appear in the background.
