SUMMIT EXPERIENCE TRACKS
Do you want to help make the experience at the summit the best yet? Then you are in the right place!
We've already got teams diligently working away on logistics, creative and content. Here is another opportunity to get involved. Below are four different tracks that will all help to shape the overall experience at the summit. There are many jobs, tasks and ways to help with each of these tracks.
Note: as we continue to build out what these events look like, the track leads will be filling out specific tasks/roles. Stay tuned for more updates via the summit blog. If your name is added below, the track lead will be reaching out to you shortly.
Social Events
- Lead
- Several Mozillians are helping lead this charge. For general questions ping Amie Tyrrel
- UPDATE - If you are looking to join an event, you can now do that now or follow along as we continue to add events: signups here
Tell me more:
- The tasks that live in this track are centered around many of the fun social events that will happen at each site. We are working to develop several activities that participants will be able to sign up to attend in advance. The activities will range from morning health & wellness (could it be Yoga? Zumba? Hikes? A hockey game?) to fun activities specific to that region: chocolate making in Brussels, CN tower tour in Toronto, or maybe Great America in Santa Clara.
How can I help:
- If you are interested in helping with all things Social, we are currently looking for local site leads for each of our summit sites as well as a group of individuals to help during the summit.

Site Hosts

- Tasks in this track involve being an ambassador for the site. A group of friendly faces that will assist in making sure the Summit Experience is a great experience for everyone. We will need 30 people (at least) at each of the sites who are social, like meeting people and really want to be in the mix of all things Summit during the event.
How can I help:
