Selected applicants will receive complimentary registration to ONA23.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do volunteers receive a pass to ONA23?
Yes, each of our volunteers will receive one complimentary, non-transferable registration to attend ONA23.
I have already volunteered at several ONA conferences, what does this mean for my chances of getting selected again?
All applicants are considered regardless of their previous ONA involvement.
Are volunteers able to attend educational sessions?
Volunteers are more than welcome to attend sessions and events outside of your scheduled volunteer hours. Some volunteer shifts also require you to tune in to a session as part of your responsibilities.
Am I guaranteed a spot on the volunteer team?
After May 18, we will evaluate volunteer applications, and once all shifts are filled we’ll move applicants to a waitlist.
