For more information on the conference, please visit: http://www.sigir2013.ie We are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic student volunteers to support the running of SIGIR 2013. Student volunteers will need to commit to approximately 8 hours of effort during the conference. Volunteers will be expected to assist staff with tasks such as organising conference material, supporting sessions to ensure they run smoothly, checking badges, helping people locate sessions, running errands etc. These tasks will typically consist of multiple three to four hour time periods, including the tutorial and workshop days. Serving as a student volunteer is a great way to get involved in the conference, while contributing to the SIGIR community. Volunteers will receive a registration waiver for the main conference including welcome reception and the conference banquet.
