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 organisers, 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 January 23 afternoon (the day before the start of the conference)
In return, we will:
- Waive your registration fee and access the full program
- Give you 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 PhD students are all welcome.
The application portal for TEI2027 is available at CHISV. To apply, you must first create an account, select TEI2027 on CHISV, and complete the enrollment steps. You must be enrolled through CHISV to be considered for a spot.
