IDFA producer Kai is responsible for the decoration, together with A-team coordinator Alexander. In the block schedule you can see when decoration and furniture will be delivered at your location. These materials will be collected again at the end of the festival. The location producer will also contact you here. It is good to take a tour of the location beforehand to determine which materials/furniture they allow you to use.
The distribution coordinator, Laurie, is responsible for distributing programme magazines to put in the racks. You can also call Laurie if you need more snacks.
Lunch: The lunch is all vegetarian and comes in crates. Make sure everyone gets enough lunch. If you have too much or too little, or if lunch is late, you can pass this on to the location producers.
Diner: A caterer brings dinner every day for staff. The numbers are communicated in advance based on the schedule. The evening meal is also completely vegetarian. For volunteers, they can pick up a dinner voucher at the volunteer desk for a number of restaurants in the neighbourhood.
Snacks: You are in charge whether there are still enough snacks and drinks at your location. If it starts to run out, you can order it through distribution coordinator. They have a stock of snacks and drinks. When delivery is made, you can immediately return the empty bottles. Make sure you don't order too little, but also not too much. At the end of the festival we can return unopened packaging. Make sure that these packaging, together with the last empty bottles, are taken to Vondelparkpaviljoen.
Volunteers will help scanning, hosting and allround coordination of the location. You will receive a schedule from the volunteer coordinators every day.
