- Meet the people. Ask anyone who has volunteered: you meet people, make friends, and be in prime locals for costume spotting (Okay maybe not so much that last one).
- Help the anime community. All staff who work at Katsucon are volunteers; no one gets paid a cent and some are not only paying for their badge, but their hotel rooms as well. They love anime and the anime community; without them, the convention would be nothing but pure, utter chaos.
- See if working a Convention is right for you. Volunteering is a great way to see if you want to commit to being staff at Katsucon. See the frantic behind the scenes running that makes Katsucon possible each year.
