There is a lot of work involved in setting up and running our Northern / Central Region California Invention Convention.   This year we expect between 200-225 students and 90 judges - so there is lots to prepare for. Your willing hands mean that we are able put on the best event possible to acknowledge and celebrate young inventors from Northern and Central California. Registration instructions will be made available once Volunteer Registration opens.

We hope that you will join us this year as a volunteer -- and we ask that you reach out to friends and colleagues and invite them to register.  All are welcome!!! All volunteer work is done at the venue - which is located in the heart of Old Sacramento Waterfront --- where there are lots of things to do!
