The effectiveness and smooth operation of a conference, including MobileHCI 2023,
greatly relies on student volunteers (SVs). We are looking for approachable and eager
volunteers to contribute to the success of MobileHCI 2023. As this conference will be
held in a hybrid format, we need student volunteers both on-site and online. SVs will
help with various conference tasks, such as supporting presenters and guiding
attendees throughout the event space.
In exchange for your important contribution (roughly 16-20 hours), you will enjoy
complimentary conference registration, a free t-shirt, and numerous other perks. This
experience will allow you to connect with fellow students in the SV program, expand
your research network, and directly interact with conference participants and
organizers.
