Connectionists: Call for volunteers for AISTATS 2021

[Wittawat Jitkrittum]

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
aistats2021pc at gmail.com.

Thank you,

The AISTATS 2021 organizing team
