Student Ambassador / Volunteer Information
Schedules
Join us at IGARSS 2013 as a student ambassador and receive an iPad as a thank you for your contribution of time.
This is an excellent opportunity for you to attend presentations, network with international industry representatives, and improve your resume – all free of charge, without the cost of registration (saving you a fee of $520).
All student ambassadors who participate in 5 days of volunteering receive a free lunch and two teas daily, an iPad at the conclusion of the conference, and a copy of the proceedings of the conference. Celebrate your service at IGARSS 2013 with us at a post-conference party!
For those unable to volunteer for the full 5 days as a Student Ambassador, there are numerous other opportunities as a student volunteer to assist at the conference. For each full day of volunteering, you will receive a free day pass to attend the conference as a delegate on a day of your choice, in addition to receiving a certificate of service from the IGARSS 2013 committee.
