UIST 2000 Student Volunteers
 
   
Welcome! If you would like to apply to be a student volunteer for UIST 2000, see the SV Request Form below.

News

The call for UIST SVs is starting now. The deadline for applying to be a UIST SV is August 1st. If you're waiting to hear if a paper was accepted, this gives you two weeks to submit. SVs will be selected by August 10th so that anyone travelling long distances has the opportunity to get inexpensive plane tickets.

Benefits and Duties

If you are a UIST Student Volunteer, you get...

  • Free conference registration
  • Free T-shirt
  • A chance to attend the premier forum for innovations in developing human-computer interfaces

In the past, volunteers have been given up to three nights of free housing as well. As soon as this year's housing benefit is confirmed, we will post information about it.

All you need to do is help us set-up the conference and do needed work during the conference. There will be at most 10 hours of work for each of the volunteers to do.

Arriving and Leaving

When you arrive at the conference is somewhat flexible, but West Coast volunteers should try to be at the hotel by around 2:00 PM on Sunday, 11/5 and other volunteers should try to be at the hotel by around 5:00 PM on Sunday, 11/5 (place TBA).

When you leave is also flexible, but you should try to plan it so you don't leave the hotel until sessions end at 5:15 PM on Wednesday. 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 SVs after UIST (or occasionally during UIST). The time and place for this party will be announced when we know all the SVs' travel plans.
