The proposed placement of the Volunteer table looks like the same place as Swag handout.

Hey guys,
I see in the tutorial sign-up sheet that it reads: "Note: these volunteer slots are NOT the same as the tutorial rooms." I put myself on four slots that I'd like to volunteer for support and greet.
Out of these, I need to arrange to have specifically 3 of those sessions as I also payed to take the tutorial full length and I'd not want to be assigned to a different session, I figured since I'll be there I might as well help. Would it be better for me to not sign up in the sheet, or to let it be and figure it out the day of?
We can just leave it for the day of. Worst case, I can step in or Betsy.
Ewa, thanks for adding the idea of Newcomer Orientation / Breakfast, I think it will be amazing.
I'd also like to suggest either Rami, myself or anyone else is near the registration desk in the early morning during conference days with a big sign that reads "Volunteer check-in".
Mainly just as a rally point for people that signed up; during previous years, people that signed up as volunteers (speaking out of experience) didn't have a flag to rally behind, and I was mainly just hunting for finding Yarko :). An alternate option for this would be to fold that into the registration and make sure the volunteers at the registration desk know who/where to send new volunteers to.
Good idea!
Since registration is already very crowded with 3300 people checking in, it may be better for volunteers to meet else where.
This year the staff office will be in room A103-104, which is much closer to the reg area than where we were in 2016. I think if we place two tables outside of the staff office it will be better. See my mocked up map:

One main concern for me is us telling volunteers to go there but no one staffing the tables. We can have a small sign to put on the table that if no one is there, they should go into the staff room and ask for me.
Thoughts on this?
