Call for Student Volunteers for IJCAI-99

Deadline for application: May 10 1999

The local organization team for IJCAI'99 is now seeking student volunteers. Volunteers are expected to do approximately half a day's work each day during the entire conference, i.e. from July 30 (see below) to August 6. The work will consist of assistance at the registration desk; assistance at workshops, tutorials, and technical sessions; and general assistance helping out where needed (e.g. giving directions to participants, helping presenters to test their presentations etc).

We start with a meeting late afternoon on Friday July 30. The real work starts on Saturday July 31.

In return for your work you get

• no conference fee, of course
• admittance to all sessions unless other restrictions apply (e.g. for workshops)
• conference proceedings, conference bag etc
• lunch and coffee
• admittance to the opening ceremony + reception
• a 50% reduction on the conference dinner (you pay SEK 300)
• and last but not least, an IJCAI'99 Staff T-shirt.

The deadline for volunteer applications is May 10, 1999. Please note that volunteers should NOT register to IJCAI through any other means than by sending in the application.

In your application, please state your:

• Name
• Sex (for accommodation purposes only)
• Affiliation and address
• Short (~100-200 words) description of yourself and your interests in AI
• Whether you have a paper at the conference
• Special skills (knowledge on audiovisual equipment, language skills etc)
• Size of T-shirt (M L XL XXL)
• Accomodation demands

Hope to see you in Stockholm this summer!

Asa Rudstrom,
Student Volunteer Coordinator for IJCAI'99
