MuseCon is specifically looking for someone to coordinate our marketing. This person will be responsible find locations to advertise the convention, coordinates distribution of flyers and other advertising material at appropriate businesses (craft shops, etc.), other conventions, and to other groups such as Maker Fairs, etc. Marketing's responsibilities also include coordination of advertising by other groups in the MuseCon program book (either paid ads or ad swaps), coordinating with Publications. May also plan parties to held at other conventions and events, in coordination with the convention committee and convention chair. Marketing is part of our larger Public Relations department.

We are also looking for someone to be in charge of procurement for MuseCon. Procurement will purchases goods and services for all convention departments, researching to find the best values reasonably possible, including leveraging tax-exempt status and 501(c)(3) status.
