Later in the form, you'll be able to give us more information about yourself to help us assign you to the best Team within your preferred Team Group.
Do you have strong administrative skills or finance experience? Do you enjoy solving problems whilst working with people? If so, one of our Administration Teams could suit you well.
Do you like working with people and giving them a warm welcome? Do you have experience in the hospitality or retail sector? Perhaps you're a trained barista who loves great coffee! Our Hospitality and Retail Teams will be working hard to create a strong community vibe around the DTUS site.
Are you fit and active? Enjoy working with people to ensure a warm welcome? Then we'd love to have you on one of our Practical Service Teams. A friendly smile and practical help as people arrive can make a massive difference to someone's experience of the whole event.
The Set Up and Tear Down Team helps with all the practical tasks needed to get the site ready and then pack down again at the end of the event, so you need to be physically fit to be on this team.You'll also need to arrive early (by 11am on Thursday, May 22) and stay late (until 6pm on Monday, May 26). You'll be working Friday and Monday but free all day Saturday and Sunday to enjoy the event.

Which Team Group would you prefer to be assigned to?
Please note that it may not always be possible to assign you to your first or second choice, but we will take this information into consideration when assigning you to a Team.
SHIFT TIMES
Days are divided up into shifts - Morning, Afternoon, Evening (which can run as late as midnight) and Overnight.
Specific timings vary between the different Teams. Team Builders will normally be assigned different shift times on different days and serve for an average of 6 hours per day over the 4 days of the event.
Since DT US is a 24 hour event, we'll need people on some Teams (e.g. Stewards and Sound) to do an overnight shift.
We will host pre-event training and connection calls before the event. These calls are scheduled at different times on different days so you'll be able to sign up for a time that suits you.
It's vital for us to connect with you before the event, so we can let you know in more detail what to expect, and give you an opportunity to ask questions.
Once you've been allocated to a Team your Department Head will also contact you, and will invite you to join a Team-specific chat group to get you connected before you arrive.
