ICFP 2026 is pleased to offer a number of opportunities for volunteers, who are
vital to the efficient operation and continued success of the conference each
year. The volunteer program is a chance for students and Programming Languages
researchers aspirants from around the world to participate in the conferences
while assisting us in preparing and running the event.
The Volunteer Program helps more people attend the ICFP conference by covering
conference fees, but not travel or lodging expenses, in exchange for your help
with the conference organization.
Eligibility
Everyone is welcome to apply. Priority is given to junior members of our
community, e.g. full- or part-time students of computer science and related
fields.
Duration
Applicants must be available for at least five (5) full days between August
24th and August 29th, 2026, and should be ready to assist with a variety of
tasks during that time.
Availability for pre-conference coordination and training may also be required.
Volunteers from all time zones are encouraged to apply.
About Volunteering
The skills, talents, and dedication of our Volunteers contribute to the overall
quality of the conference.
The Volunteer role this year will mainly involve working with the organizers to
prepare for the conference by providing technical assistance to attendees,
managing online Q&A and poster sessions, and supporting active communication in
our online environment. **We will be having AV requirements (e.g., streaming),
so previous or interested AV volunteers are especially encouraged to apply.**
Volunteering allows you to meet other people (faculty and students) in the
Programming Languages (PL) Community. With several opportunities for
networking, you can share ideas about your research, find topics you are
passionate about, investigate career paths, and even find your future
collaborators!
Compensation
- A Complimentary Conference Registration, offering access to all open sessions
(i.e., parallel paper presentations, demonstrations, and workshops) and
conference proceedings.
- Free lunches and refreshments during breaks.
- Volunteer shirt.
- Free admission to all social events.
**Please note that volunteers are responsible for their own travel and
accommodation arrangements.**
We are looking forward to having you on our team!
