Work Exchange
Are you a current student, adjunct professor, or someone needing assistance to cover the cost of the conference? Sign up to participate in our work-exchange program for the 2025 AWP Conference & Bookfair on March 26–29, 2025, in Los Angeles, California, and receive a free conference registration!
AWP welcomes hundreds of incredible volunteers every year. The success of each conference depends on the commitment and efforts of our work-exchange participants. In exchange for a short preconference web training session and four hours of your time on-site, AWP will provide you with a waived conference registration, which gives you full access to the bookfair and all conference events.

As a work-exchange participant, there are a variety of roles and responsibilities you might have. When applying, feel free to indicate which roles you’d prefer. Conference staff will make their best efforts to assign you to your preferred role and shift time, though on-site flexibility is appreciated. Check out some of the roles you might be helping with at #AWP25 in Los Angeles:
- Registration line monitors will direct attendees to the correct check-in line and open kiosks.
- Registration kiosk attendants will help attendees print their badges and report any printer issues to AWP staff.
- Material distributors will open boxes and restock lanyards and tote bags at check-in. This role requires some light lifting.
- Event and room floaters will monitor room capacity, help direct attendees to their destinations, and report any issues to AWP staff.
- Accessibility attendants may act as an escort or companion, be a notetaker, or push a wheelchair for someone with a disability. This position is ideal for individuals with accessibility experience.
Upon signing up to participate, you will automatically receive a confirmation email. You will be notified of your specific date, time, and shift assignment once sign-ups close in early 2025. The deadline to sign up for the 2025 AWP Work-Exchange Program is February 19, 2025. Make a difference and sign up to be a much-appreciated work-exchange participant today!
