To apply to be a student volunteer, please sign up at the
UIST SV portal.
If you have any questions/problems, please contact the chairs at
sv@uist.org.
If you are a UIST Student Volunteer, you get:
- Free conference registration
- Free T-shirt
- A great SV party with free dinner
- A chance to attend the premier forum for innovations in human-computer
interfaces
Student volunteers will be required to help set up and perform needed work
during the conference. Duties include: bag stuffing, registration desk, AV
assistance, poster and demo setup, badge checking, break monitoring, etc.
Volunteers will also need to be available during the conference if tasks
come up. SVs usually get to attend most of the sessions, even when working.
There will be approximately 14 scheduled hours per SV.
SVs need to be available to help throughout the conference. You will
need to arrive on or before Saturday afternoon (Oct. 15) for the SV
orientation and should not leave the conference venue until sessions end on
Wednesday (Oct. 19). Also, we strongly encourage you to put off leaving
until as late as you possibly can, because it's traditional to have a small
party for student volunteers on Wednesday evening. The time and place for
this party will be announced when we know all the student volunteers' travel
plans.
To give you an idea of what to expect, you can see the
UIST 2006 Student Volunteer Schedule.
We will not be able to provide free accommodation, but we will help you
team up with other student volunteers for sharing rooms and we will provide
a list of hotels with affordable room rates.
