Become a Student Volunteer

Whether your first or nth attendance at a scientific conference, you will
quickly come to realize that student volunteers are a critical component of
their success! As such, ISMAR is calling for student volunteers to help us
with the 2026 edition of this conference.

Student volunteers assist conference operations by acting as the friendly,
helpful and hard-working faces of the event, taking on frontline tasks
including: managing the registration desk, helping set up demo sessions,
providing on-site support to the organizing committee, assisting speakers
during presentations, supporting as virtual event moderators, providing
session support to virtual attendees, and more.

Why You Should Volunteer

Participating as a student volunteer gives you unique networking
opportunities with conference attendees, from young local and international
researchers to world leaders in mixed and augmented reality. Volunteering
for ISMAR 2026 is also an opportunity to gain academic service experience
and valuable hands-on experience for future scientific event organization.

Phrased differently, this is an opportunity to help shape the events of an
international conference!

In addition to the experience, we recognize your time and effort
contributions to delivering a smooth event by waiving your conference
registration fee*. Students also receive the same benefits as other
conference attendees.

*Important note: Student volunteer authors may incur fees beyond the base
student registration waiver.

Selection Guidelines and Eligibility

We encourage all graduate and undergraduate students with a keen interest
in cutting edge virtual, mixed and augmented reality research to apply. We
acknowledge that student volunteer positions are often highly competitive
as we receive many strong applications every year for the limited available
positions so do not be disheartened if you are not selected.

To join the ISMAR team as a student volunteer, you must be enrolled as a
PhD, Masters, or full-time undergraduate student at the time of the
conference (October 5-9, 2026). A portion of the positions will be
prioritized for international students traveling from outside Italy to
present their research, but all applicants are welcome.

The following additional considerations will influence volunteer selection:

- Selection for presentation at ISMAR 2026.

- Degree program (i.e., Ph.D., Masters, Bachelors).

- Good communication skills in English.

- Previous experience in event organization.

- The number of volunteers from each region, institution, and research
group may be balanced to ensure broad participation.

- Underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

Expectations

Volunteers will be required to:

- Participate in an orientation session before the conference.

- Work approximately 20 hours through the duration of the conference.

- Show up on time for their assigned tasks.
