Dear GEC Volunteers -

We are about 24 hours away from the start of our 3-day, around-the-clock conference and we are so excited! We hope you are, too. 

We sincerely thank you for volunteering your time to benefit thousands of educators around the world! Thanks to all who have signed up to moderate sessions and to serve as "super moderators" who will supervise longer time periods. We are particularly grateful for our Australian friends who take over so we can sleep during the US night time! 

If you have not had a chance to book volunteer times, please do so soon here: https://globaledcon19volunteers.youcanbook.me/

Steve will be sending moderator links to presenters today; links for the public will be sent tonight or tomorrow morning to registered participants. You can encourage people to register here: http://bit.ly/GEC2019register

Also, keep in mind that we have a lot of new presenters this year from bandwith and literacy challenged parts of the world. Although we have required presenters to go through training this year, we're anticipating that there will be some presenters who will need a great deal of handholding, and that's okay. We just want to make sure you are aware!

See you in the volunteer lounge soon!

Lucy
