STUDENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We need student volunteers to help out with the conference in all 4
cities. This is a great opportunity to get free entry to presentations by
leading experts and to meet hundreds of experienced professionals in the
audience. Duties are light: mainly distributing handouts and handling the
microphone during Q&A.

If you are a full-time student and interested in volunteering, please send
email to one of these addresses with a few paragraphs about your
background and current studies:
