Speaker Desk Angels (or "Referentenbetreuung") care for everything a speaker or workshop presenter might need before or after their talk. This might include help with printing stuff, making coffee/tee and other random tasks a speaker might come up with. The real list of tasks varies a lot which makes this a very interesting and sometimes challenging job. You need to have basic human–human interaction skills. A decent level of English is needed for some speakers/workshop presenters. As a small bonus, you might get to interact with the speakers at a more personal level.
