Call for Student Volunteers

Becoming a student volunteer is an excellent opportunity for students to meet and talk with leading academic and industrial researchers and practitioners in the area of software engineering. It is also a great way to meet other students from all over the world and to offset some of the costs of the conference.

If you are an undergraduate, graduate, or PhD student and would like to apply and join the student volunteer team, please submit an application using the online application form. Notifications will be sent out prior to the early registration deadline.
