CAKE is an all-volunteer run event.
If you enjoy meeting amazing people who share your interests, want to be a part of what makes CAKE great, and like to discover awesome artists and publishers, consider joining as a CAKE volunteer! There are two options – and you can do both if you’re a super fan 😎
Poster Volunteers help post our flyers far and wide in Chicago! You’ll work with the Volunteer Coordinator to distribute posters and fliers for CAKE across the city – at coffee shops, book stores, and local businesses in YOUR area!
Show Volunteers are the backbone of CAKE’s success on-the-day! On-site Volunteer shifts are generally 2-4 hours, and duties range from: staffing the information booth, assisting with show setup and teardown, checking-in on exhibitors, and assistance with Panels and Workshops. Show volunteers get some awesome perks, such as:
Getting valuable experience behind-the-scenes
The option to sell one or two comics at the CAKE HQ table
A FREE shirt!
