Sat, 14:30 - 17:00 Infodesk K 3/5 None
 
The Infodesk is the heart and soul of the Fosdem Information System. During the entire conference, visitors and volunteers alike will come to you with questions, remarks, issues and much more. When at the Infodesk, you will meet almost everyone, and will know everything there is to know about FOSDEM, even some things you didn't want to.

There are two infodesks: K and H. K is the main infodesk, where most of the staff gathers and where volunteers flock to. It is also the busiest, being located where most of the stands are. H is less busy, but being located closest to most of the buildings, gets its fair share of visitors.

At the infodesk, we answer all questions visitors might have, ranging from "where is talk Y" to "where can I get the bus to the train station". We also take donations, sell T-shirts, hand out booklets and programmes and much more. Knowledge of English is required, and knowing other languages (this is a multinational conference) will greatly help you. Some familiarity with the conference and the surroundings is an asset, but experienced help is always available.

The infodesk crews are mostly self-organising, so you can take a break when required, or leave/arrive a bit early. However, you must ensure that you are covered during your absence, so the infodesk is never uncrewed.
