If needed, Rethos will provide one or two volunteers to operate a greeter table at the front entrance of your venue for the duration of the weekend. These volunteers do not assist with venue programming. However, your venue is welcome to instead provide your own staff or volunteers to operate the greeter table. If your venue chooses to provide your own greeters, we ask that one member of your staff or volunteer team attends a 90-minute volunteer training before the event. *

Will the greeter table at your venue be located inside or outside during Doors Open weekend? If located outside, we ask venues to provide some form of shade and rain location for volunteers operating the table. *

Please attach a high resolution photo of your venue that you think represents it well. The photo can be an interior or exterior shot, and will be displayed on the website.

To help your venue look its best, consider attaching an alternative high resolution photograph. Having a photo with a different aspect ratio (horizontal vs. vertical) or with a different view of your space will help us customize how your venue looks in different media.

Do we have permission to use the photograph or photographs from the copyright holder? Is there an organization or photographer that we should credit?
