Student volunteers (SVs) are essential to the success of the conference. We invite enthusiastic and reliable SVs to help us run C&amp;C 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Being an SV provides a unique opportunity to contribute to organising a conference as well as interact closely with contributors, attendees, and your peers. In return for your work, you will get a full conference pass providing you access to all the paper sessions, posters and demos. It is a fantastic opportunity to use this event to build your professional network.<\/p>\n<p>Being an SV is&nbsp;a very enriching experience. You will get to meet incredible people and make&nbsp;connections. In return for helping us during the conference, you will also&nbsp;have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">Free registration<\/span> to the conference including the opportunity to listen to presentations (it covers conference fees, but not travel or accommodation expenses).<\/li>\n<li>Access to receptions (both conference reception and art opening).<\/li>\n<li>An opportunity to network with other students and leading researchers.<\/li>\n<li>Accepted SVs will be offered an opportunity to <span class=\"highlight\">present a poster<\/span> of their research during the conference. The poster session will take place alongside the main poster and tool demonstration session. These poster descriptions will not be included in the ACM Digital Library proceedings for the conference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"h3-title\">What We Ask of You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"content\">\n    <div class=\"text\">\n<p>We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable, and friendly people, both experienced and those new to volunteering. You must be enrolled as an undergraduate, masters, or doctoral student between January to May in 2026 (e.g., Spring 2026). Students who are graduating at the time of the conference are also eligible to apply.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"h3-title\">What Volunteers Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"content\">\n    <div class=\"text\">\n<p>As a SV, we&nbsp;ask you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Engage in communications online (e.g. e-mail, slack, discord) before the conference<\/li>\n<li>Attend orientation sessions before the conference<\/li>\n<li>Arrive at conference sessions in due time<\/li>\n<li>Show up on time to assigned tasks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SVs are not trained event managers, they are volunteers and conference attendees. All SVs agree to an informal contract and you are expected to be present at the entire conference.<\/p>\n<p>SVs will fundamentally help to run many of the sessions, which means starting and ending the sessions, help the presenters, report and\/or solve technical problems during the talks, processing registrations, operating the digital information desks, providing information about the conference to attendees, helping with traffic flow and answering queries, running errands, and provide general assistance to keep the conference running smoothly. SVs will support the conference art exhibition. All SVs will have time to attend sessions during the conference.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"h3-title\">Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"content\">\n    <div class=\"text\">\n<p>We are asking that applicants apply via the CHISV online system: <a href=\"https:\/\/new.chisv.org\/conference\/cc2026\">https:\/\/new.chisv.org\/conference\/cc2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to register and then apply for C&amp;C 2026. You will be asked a series of questions. We suggest that you prepare the following questions in advance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Please outline your interests or studies in relation to the topics of the conference.<\/li>\n<li>Please explain why you want to be an SV at the conference.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm if you have attended a C&amp;C conference before and in what capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm if you have been a SV, or other role, at another conference.<\/li>\n<li>Please outline any skills or knowledge that you have which will support the running of the conference in London.<\/li>\n<li>Please answer \u2013 why do you believe you would be a good addition to the SV program (e.g., you are great with people; you are a super organizational talent; you are quick to react; you have cool skills like photography, video editing, multiple languages, etc.)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brief responses are ok! We don\u2019t expect more than a couple of sentences in response to each question. Bullet point is also fine.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions please do contact us at <a href=\"mailto: sv2026@cc.acm.org\">sv2026@cc.acm.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"h3-title\">Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"content\">\n    <div class=\"text\">\n<p>Email:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sv2026@cc.acm.org\">sv2026@cc.acm.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yinmiao Li, Northwestern University<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Giulia Di Fede, Politecnico di Milano<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STUDENTVOLUNTEERS Important Dates Conference:&nbsp;13th\u201316th July 2026 In-person, London, UK.
