64 SXXPRESS SXXpress Crew Chiefs: Audrey, Dave, Drew SXXpress Days of Operation: March 11 - 19, 2016 SXXpress Check In: Volunteers who work on this crew will check in at SXXpress located in Exhibit Hall 5. Exhibit Hall 5 is located on the northeast side of the Austin Convention Center (ACC). SXXpress Volunteer Responsibilities & Duties: The SXXpress Crew is responsible for issuing all SXXpress passes, checking one's credentials to ensure they can receive the passes, and working together to make sure lines are manageable and the pick-up process runs smoothly. The SXXpress (South by Express) is a feature pass for the SXSW Music & Film Festivals. These passes do not guarantee admission to music venues or film screenings, but give better access to those who have them. Shift leaders for SXXpress are responsible for managing the volunteer shift check in, volunteer training, lunch schedule, and helping to resolve any minor issues that may arise when issuing passes. SXXpress Attire and Reminders: SXXpress Volunteers should wear the SXSW Volunteer t-shirt and tasteful bottoms. The temperature in the Austin Convention Center can fluctuate from cold to hot, so we recommend bringing layers (ex. hoodie, sweater, jacket) if you tend to get cold and sensible footwear to keep your feet comfortable throughout your shift. If you will be working before you receive your credential (for example, you may be waiting for a music badge, but working during Interactive) you will need to pick up a working volunteer day pass from Volunteer Central. What Else Should Volunteers Know About the SXXPress Crew: The SXXpress Crew can be very fast paced in the mornings, and then it begins to slow down towards the afternoon. The crew chiefs ask that you be on time, or early to your shift, as the SXXpress crew must be prepared to issue badges as soon as SXXpress opens. Most importantly, the SXXpress crew is a great team and an enjoyable crew to work on. How to contact the SXXpress Crew: If you need to contact your SXXpress Crew Chiefs, you can email them at sxxpress@ gmail.com. During the event, you may also call/text them on their show phone. Please make sure to email, then call or text your crew chiefs if you are going to miss your shift or arrive late. If it's less than 2 hours prior to the start of your shift, first email your crew, then call the Flake Task Force at (512) 404-4623 if you're going to be late or miss the shift.
