== Who makes a good Porto Lead? ==

=== Location ===

Most of the role can be done from anywhere, mostly phone calls and remote meetings.

At least one co-lead needs to be on-site during the event to keep on top of any in the moment issues.

=== Schedule ===

Biweekly meetings throughout Planning Season (January-July).

Other responsibilities are mostly asynchronous communication that can be done whenever you want, as long as you hit deadlines.

Aligning with vendors and getting contracts in place is a major part, but it can be tricky if the outlook of the event is shifting around the time of planning. Vendors like to book these dates months in advance.

=== Experience ===

Business relationship management is a plus. Some knowledge of the event would also be a plus, but if a volunteer is coming with knowledge of a different burn that would be transferable.

=== Skills ===
