Call for Student Volunteers
Who are Student Volunteers (SVs)?
Student Volunteers (SVs) are at the core of TEI. Because TEI is a hands-on, demo-rich conference, SVs play an essential role in helping everything run smoothly and creating the welcoming, collaborative atmosphere the community is known for.
As an SV, your tasks may include assisting attendees and speakers, supporting sessions and keynotes (both onsite and online), helping organizers, providing information, and serving as a general point of contact for anyone at the conference. Tasks may start early or end late.
Acting as an SV, you agree to the following responsibilities:
- Work for about 20 hours over the course of the conference
- Show up on time for tasks
- Attend an orientation session on March 7 afternoon (the day before the start of the conference)
In return, we will:
- Waive your registration fee
- Give a free SV t-shirt to be collected on site
- Offer networking opportunities with other students and researchers
How Do I Become an SV?
You must be a current student to join the SV program. Prior experience is a plus, but not necessary. Undergraduate, Master's, and Ph.D. students are all welcome.
The application portal can be found on new.chisv.org for TEI2026. To apply, you must first create an account, select TEI2026 on new.chisv.org, and complete the enrollment steps.
You must be enrolled through new.chisv.org to be considered for a spot.
