Becoming a SIGCHI Volunteer

This event will introduce you to ways of becoming a volunteer at ACM SIGCHI events. The event will explain the ACM, what is SIGCHI, provide example pathways and explain the myriad volunteer opportunities. You might have heard of general, program or papers chairs but there are hundreds of volunteers involved across our conferences. If you are interested in workshops, panels or posters or the work of student volunteers, courses, proceedings or social media then this session is for you. We will provide guidance if this is your first step or next step in being a volunteer with SIGCHI. This session will be chaired by Loren Terveen the president of Association for Computing Machinery’s SIGCHI professional group. Loren is a professor of computer science and engineering and studies human-computer interaction at the GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota.
