Be a part of the BDF Conference

Who can volunteer?

If you’re over 18 and have an interest in supporting the festival and creative events in Birmingham then volunteering is definitely for you.

We see volunteering as a great opportunity for students but equally this gig is for anyone who wants to be involved and has a good work ethic.

Applications will open for 2025 in February.

Speaking at BDF conference

Due to the limited number of speaker slots at the conference, we invite our speakers individually based on how well they fit with our theme and programme.

A full call for entries will happen as normal for our festival in 2026.

Hosting an event or workshop

Much like speaking at BDF, workshop hosts for BDF 2023 have been invited, there are not any opportunities to submit an application this year.

A full call for entries will happen as normal for our festival in 2026.
