I have heard others suggest volunteering as a way of attending music
and cultural events for free. You take tickets, or usher, and get to
see the show. Well, I have applied this concept to professional
conferences. This weekend I will be attending my third conference where
I will volunteer in exchange for free admission. Generally, I do things
like help attendees figure out where their next session is, or take
tickets from people at the lunch buffet. It’s so easy, doesn’t require
any time commitment other than that day, and I still get to go to all
the workshops and see keynote speakers.
