Okay I'm gonna say it: it's really weird for large for-profit conventions to have "volunteer" staff.
Fan-run cons do that because they're non-profits and no one is getting meaningfully paid.
Professional cons are businesses and businesses need to pay for labor.

If you got the survey email from Patreon this week, please don't skip over it. They're banging the pot about incorporating AI again.
Let them know exactly what you think about that.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.
