Volunteers play a vital role in helping to make UMISC happen. Volunteering is a great opportunity for students, nonprofits, and private individuals to attend the conference at a reduced rate or no cost. Four (4) hours of volunteer time = one day of conference registration waived. Six (6) hours of volunteer time = full conference registration waived.

Applications for volunteer spots will be reviewed on an on-going basis and spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Conference administration staff will interview prospective volunteers to ensure volunteer capabilities meet the conference's needs.

An Online Volunteer application will be posted on this page in early spring 2018. Please come back to this page at that time to submit your application.

Up to 30 Volunteers are needed to work in one or more of the following capacities:

1. Register attendees manually and/or take credit card information
2. Hand out conference materials
3. Direct attendees to concurrent sessions and other venue areas
4. Conference set-up and tear down
5. Load presentation on laptops for concurrent sessions or communicate AV needs to coordinator
6. Verify attendance registration at special events or other on-site support
