How LOOP started

I got into the creative industry the way so many people here do: I volunteered at an event.

It was the Headies Awards. I turned up early, did whatever the team needed and stayed until the last case was packed. Someone noticed. That one event got me into the next room, and the room after that.

Volunteering led to an event operations internship, and from there I moved up to project manager.

The path worked, but none of it was written down. My track record lived in other people's memories and a few old WhatsApp chats. Plenty of people who worked just as hard never got the second room, because nobody could see what they'd done.

LOOP is that path, on the record. Every event you work, every hour you log and every reference a lead writes goes on your LOOP Card. Organisers and creative businesses use it to find the people they want to hire.

Volunteering is where the journey starts. LOOP stays with every member from that first event to a professional placement, and beyond it.

Four steps, every event

  1. Pick a role

  2. Check in by QR

    Show the code on your phone at the venue. Your lead scans it.

  3. Get signed off

    At the end of the event, your lead signs off your hours, rates your work and can write you a reference.

  4. Watch your record grow

    Events worked, hours logged and references update on your LOOP Card the same day.

Roles you can take

  • Ushers. Seat guests, guide the crowd and keep aisles and exits clear.
  • Gate teams. Scan tickets and wristbands and manage the queue.
  • Runners. Move kit, messages and people between stage, desk and backstage.
  • Green rooms. Look after artists, speakers and talent before and after they go on.
  • Hosts. Welcome guests, run registration and answer questions on the floor.
  • Event operations. Support the production team on schedules, suppliers and run sheets. Offered to crew with a strong record.
