ACM IUI 2024 - Call For Student Volunteers
29th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2024)
Greenville, South Carolina, USA,
March 18-21, 2024  https://iui.acm.org/2024/


The conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is calling for student volunteers to help us for the 2024 conference.

** Benefits of the Student Volunteer Position **

As a student volunteer, you will

  *   receive a complimentary conference registration and the same benefits as other conference attendees.
  *   have the unique opportunity to network with local and international researchers and world leaders in intelligent interfaces.
  *   gain valuable experience for future scientific conferences and grow your connection with the IUI community.
  *   Social events and engagement opportunities

** Eligibility and Selection criteria **

Volunteer positions are competitive due to their limited availability. Applications are open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in intelligent user interfaces and related areas. To join the team as a volunteer, you must be enrolled as a PhD, Masters, or full-time undergraduate student in a related program at the time of the conference, and have good written and spoken English communication skills.

Previous experience in conference organization is desired but not required, and the number of volunteers from each region, and institution, may be balanced to ensure broad participation. Underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

Students who have a Doctoral Consortium paper or other paper accepted are given priorities for SV positions. However, a limited number of SV positions are available for local students who are not presenting a paper at the conference.

** Responsibilities **

As a student volunteer, you are expected to

  *   provide up to 20 hours of service during the conference (max 4 hours a day)
  *   show up on time for their assigned tasks
  *   be responsible for assigned tasks
  *   be responsive to timely communication
  *   responsibilities include managing the registration desk, helping set up demo sessions, providing on-site support to the organizing committee, assisting speakers during presentations, supporting as virtual event moderators, providing session support to virtual attendees, and other required activities.

** Travel Grants and Awards Available for SVs **

Gary Marsden Travel Awards (GMTA)<https://sigchi.org/resources/gary-marsden-travel-awards/>: The Gary Marsden Travel Awards invite applications from undergraduate and graduate students, early-career researchers (such as those who are ≤ 5 years post-graduation), and those experiencing financial hardship or lacking institutional support, to attend ACM SIGCHI conferences, including ACM UMAP.

Who is eligible to apply?

You must be a SIGCHI member at the time of application to be eligible. Read about membership and how to sign up on the SIGCHI website. Please note, ACM membership and SIGCHI membership are not the same. You can check which one you have via MyACM.

We will consider no more than one presenter per submission. Also, we will consider no more than one student per advisor, per submission cycle. If we have a large number of applicants, we will prioritize first-time attendees and presenters. Acceptances can include papers, posters/extended abstracts, works in progress, demos, case studies, etc., though we may consider the type of submission if we have many applicants. If you do not have a submission or it has not been accepted yet, however, you can still apply. Overall, we will prioritize applications that demonstrate financial need and compelling benefit to the applicant in attending the conference.

For physical travel, each applicant can only receive support once every three years. There are seven deadlines: the 9th of January, February, March, May, July, September, and November at 11:59 PM AoE.

** Important Deadlines **

Application Deadline: February 6th, 2024


** Contact Information**
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us through email sv2024 at iui.acm.org<mailto:sv2024 at iui.acm.org>. We look forward to meeting and working with you!
