The next conference will be in the fall 2012. Stay tuned for more information.

Please contact Kori Price if you want to be part of the volunteer/work exchange program for the upcoming conference.

Get Involved 2010

This fall, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will host a conference bringing content creators and support industries together to forge relationships with media execs from NGOs, museums, parks and other public organizations.

The 2010 Symposium for Museum & Media Professionals is currently lining up sponsors, speakers and volunteers interested in developing relationships within this expanding market.

Volunteers

Volunteers will be needed for a variety of functions, including tech support, venue operations, special events, registration, set-up and pre-production. Full-time, part-time, one day, multiple days... the needs are varied and flexible. The work is demanding, but the rewards are many. In the months leading up to the 2012 Symposium in Denver, volunteers can earn discounted or complimentary passes.

Ideal volunteers possess any or all of the following qualifications:

PC and/or MAC computer skills
Superior organizational skills and flexibility
Experience in set design or set building
Stamina and a can-do attitude
Technical skills associated with sound, lighting and multi-format video projection systems

Volunteers who donate hours prior to and throughout the Symposium gain access to seminars, panel discussions and film viewings subject to the schedule. Volunteer applications will be availble soon.

Interns

Internships are a great way to be involved with the 2012 Symposium for
Museum & Media Professionals, while gaining valuable experience to add
to your resume. Internships are now available and applications will be accepted
immediately.

The ideal candidate has an interest in non-fiction filmmaking,
environmental conservation, non-profit organizations, public relations
and/or event planning; and is a self-motivated individual. Graphic
Design, Communications, Journalism, and Film students are strongly
encouraged to apply.

An intern must be currently enrolled in college or a recent college
graduate who can commit (at least) three full days a week for a minimum of
six weeks. Individuals are strongly encouraged to intern as long as
possible, for a more complete experience. Students should maximize the
benefits of this opportunity by applying for academic credit. JHWFF will
assist in any way possible.

Interns may have a job during their internship, as long as it does not
conflict with their commitment to JHWFF. Interns are paid a nominal
stipend of $5 an hour. Housing and living expenses are the
responsibility of the intern.

JHWFF is eager to find interns with one or more of the following:

* Excellent communication and writing skills;
