The event area is on the State Theater Square in Innsbruck. The venue is very easy to reach by bus, train and bike.

Where can I register to become a volunteer?

By registering via the registration form, your application as a volunteer has been received. The more precisely you describe yourself as a person, your desired area of work and your free time window, the better we can allocate you to tasks and thus the exact times of work.

However, please understand that your exact shifts can only be determined a few weeks before the event.
