​Volunteers play a vital role in helping to make UMISC a great conference.  Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity for students, nonprofit staff and others to attend the conference at a reduced rate or no cost. 

Volunteers who commit 4 hours of time will receive 1 full day of conference attendance complementary; Volunteers who commit 8 hours of time will receive full conference registration at no cost.

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

Volunteer Roles

1. Register attendees on site (a 1-hour pre-conference training by phone or web meeting may be required)
2. Hand out conference materials
3. Direct attendees to concurrent sessions and other venue areas
4. Conference set-up or tear down (Sunday pm or last shift Wednesday only)
5. Door check badges or tickets
6. Load presentation on laptops for concurrent sessions
7. Other on-site support
