Conference Information

Volunteers are a critical part of any successful event, so the Alliance is excited that you are interested in joining the team! Be part of this special crew to help make this an extraordinary event.

Being a volunteer does require a commitment of your time and energy, but it has its rewards: volunteers receive free access to sessions that do not take place during your scheduled volunteer duties, an opportunity to work behind-the-scenes with Alliance staff, and great networking opportunities with your fellow volunteers and attendees. You will be able to pick your shifts after reviewing the agenda to ensure you can attend sessions most appropriate to your role.

This opportunity is geared toward individuals who wish to attend the event but are generally unable to afford the registration fee. Please be mindful of this when applying.

Past volunteers are welcome to apply, but individuals who have not had the opportunity to volunteer in the past will have top priority, and only two individuals per organization will be allowed to volunteer. All volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Applications will close on Friday, December 11, 2026 at 11:59 P.M. ET or until all spots have been filled. If you have been selected to volunteer, you will be notified no later than Friday, December 18, 2026.

For approved volunteers, Alliance staff will reach out once the schedule is complete to confirm the process for signing up for shifts. Total hours required to volunteer will not exceed 10–15 hours for the event. Please note: Some optional volunteer shifts will begin at 9:00 A.M. on Sunday, February 28, 2027, the day before the summit officially begins.

Volunteer Requirements

Terms and Conditions(Required)

Review the Code of Conduct below. Read the full Terms and Conditions here.

Code of Conduct 

The Alliance strives to create a diverse, inclusive, accepting and safe space for everyone.

All voices are welcome to ensure diversity of thought we invite as speakers, attendees, and guests at our events and webinars. There is a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination or abusive behavior. 

Attestation. You agree to treat fellow participants respectfully, helping to ensure welcome conversation from all participants. You acknowledge that any form of discrimination, violence, or abusive behavior may result in removal from a session, webinar, or full event, depending on the situation.

Disruptive Conduct. You acknowledge and agree that the Alliance reserves the right to refuse or approve admittance of any individual (or) remove you from the Event if the ALLIANCE, in its sole discretion, determines that your participation or behavior creates a disruption or hinders the Event or the enjoyment of the Event content by other attendees.

Recording, Live Streaming, and Videotaping. Participants may not record or broadcast audio or video of sessions at Alliance Events.

In addition to the requirements and prohibitions set forth in this Section 3, ALLIANCE may also exclude any prospective participant from registering for or participating in any Event, at ALLIANCE’s sole discretion.

Reporting an Incident or violations of this Policy:

If you have a complaint or concern about harassment, discrimination, bullying or any other conduct which may violate the Alliance Code of Conduct, we encourage you to tell an Alliance event staff member, Alliance security personnel or event facility security personnel immediately. You may also notify us via email at conference@naeh.org or by calling this number (202) 638-1526. You may request that your report remain confidential and only be shared with those on a “need to know” basis.

When taking an in-person report, our team will ensure you are in a safe location and cannot be overheard. The Alliance staff member may involve other team members to ensure your report is managed properly. Once safe, we’ll ask you to convey the specific circumstances. While this can potentially be upsetting, we’ll give you the patience and respect you deserve; and bring along someone to help support you if you desire. You will not be asked to confront any individual and all our communications will be confidential and only be shared with those on a “need to know” basis.

Notifying the Alliance staff or onsite Security does not constitute or replace notification to local law enforcement. This Code of Conduct does not replace rules posted by event facility, official event hotels or any rules that are part of the Alliance’s contracts with its vendors, exhibitors and/or sponsors.

I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions.

Confirmation of Understanding

After submitting your application, you will receive an email confirmation. If you do not receive this and it is not in your spam folder, please check to ensure your application was complete. If you are selected to volunteer, you will be notified no later than December 18, 2025. You will then need to complete a second form confirming your participation before your spot is secured.

Email conference@naeh.org for additional questions.

Confirmation(Required)
