VOLUNTEERS < top >
Deadline for applications : Midnight (2400 hrs GMT) Friday 30 April 2004
The ICAD Conference presents a wonderful opportunity for students; at such a small and informal conference, it's easy to meet the leaders in the field. Come meet people from all over the world who share your interests in interactive and informative audio. A great way to get involved in the conference is as a Student Volunteer.
Volunteers will each directly assist the conference for about 20-25 hours during the conference, helping with setup, breakdown, and all activities in between. There will be an orientation and training session before the conference begins; attendance will be mandatory.

In exchange for your volunteer effort, you will receive the following benefits at no charge:
- No conference registration fee
- Access to all other conference events while not on duty
- Copy of the ICAD Proceedings
- ICAD T-Shirt
You must arrange your own transportation to the conference site, and your own accommodation. (there is some possibility of travel assistance for some accepted applicants).
