Dear all, The 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics (AISTATS 2021, https://aistats.org/aistats2021/) invites students and postdoctoral researchers to apply to be a volunteer. The AISTATS 2021 is scheduled to be on April 13-15, 2021 as a virtual event. As a volunteer, you will be an essential part of the success of AISTATS 2021. All selected volunteers receive a free conference registration and have access to all programs offered, including talks by our invited speakers, live poster Q&A sessions, social activities on Gather.town, among others. In addition, volunteering gives you a unique networking opportunity with leading researchers.
Example duties for volunteers include: - Providing technical assistance to speakers and attendees in a live session - Acting as a point of contact between other attendees and the AISTATS team during the event - Promoting interactions and positive virtual atmosphere on our chat platform and Gather.town - Monitoring signs of misconduct and disturbing behaviors - Compiling the list of questions asked for a live Q&A session - Backstage tasks before the virtual event such as setting up virtual rooms on Gather.town Each volunteer will be responsible for only a small subset of these tasks at a time. Volunteers must be undergraduate, Master’s, PhD students, or postdoctoral researchers. Volunteers do not need to have a paper accepted at AISTATS. We welcome qualified applicants from all geographic areas regardless of their gender, race, color, religion, age, origin, and military status. We will respect your time availability when we divide the tasks. Submit your application at https://aistats.org/aistats2021/volunteering.html. The application deadline is February 25, 2021 (anywhere on Earth), or until all volunteer positions are filled, whichever is earlier. Please apply as soon as possible. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at aistats202...@gmail.com. Thank you, The AISTATS 2021 organizing team
