Student Volunteers

A limited number of student volunteers are needed for the success of The 27th Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGDIAL 2026).

In exchange for up to 4 hours of work, students selected as volunteers will have their registration fee reimbursed. Applicants must have already completed registration at the time of application; selected volunteers will be reimbursed after the conference. Shifts will be scheduled to maximize volunteer access to the conference events.

Tasks may include monitoring building entrances to let attendees in, assisting at the registration desk, filling delegate packs, managing poster board sessions and displays, serving as volunteer coordinator and providing assistance for conference events.
