One of the things that makes Slush so special is that it is a volunteer driven event. Last year Slush Singapore had over 200 volunteers from 22 different countries and this year we got to help with the recruitment.
Aada, Annica and Jontte was given the opportunity to go on “roadshows” to local universities. The purpose of the roadshows is very simple: recruiting the best volunteers possible.
The task was surprisingly demanding as one had to be very out there and “in your face”. Even though the days on the road were tiring they were a lot of fun, we got to meet a lot of different people and it was great connecting with people who genuinely were interested in Slush and in the different tasks we had to offer.
The days came with a lot of rejection, but the times that we succeeded and got an awesome person to join our awesome team were worth all the cold showers.
All in all the days were a lot of fun and we were happy to do something important for Slush, because without the volunteers the event is impossible to pull off.
