Volunteer

Whether you are a student, an industry professional, or a longtime fan of the conference, there is a role for you on the crew. Working a volunteer shift is also one of the best ways to meet other Christians in entertainment and to learn how the conference is put together.

Volunteer commitments are confirmed with the conference team as each event date approaches, so the best way to begin is to make contact and share your interests.

The Biola Media Conference is a gathering built around excellence in Christian media, bringing together filmmakers, students, alumni, speakers, and industry professionals to talk about stories, craft, and faith in the creative work. The volunteer page invites people who want to serve, offering roles that help carry the practical details of conference day — registration tables, session rooms, signage, and hospitality — so that presenters and guests can stay focused on the conversations that matter most. No prior media experience is expected; what matters is a willingness to serve, show up on time, and treat everyone with care.

Volunteering also opens doors into the wider world of media careers, giving participants a chance to connect with attendees, alumni, and organizers along the way, to see how a large Christian industry event actually operates, and to build relationships that can stretch in unexpected directions. Whether you are a student looking for a first step into the field, an industry professional hoping to give back, or a member of the community who simply wants to be part of something bigger, the conference team reflects on the idea that people are called into creative work that changes lives — and that serving is one of the ways that calling gets expressed.
