​Volunteers play a vital role in helping to make UMISC a great conference.  Volunteering is a wonderful 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 staff will interview prospective volunteers to ensure volunteer capabilities meet conference needs.
