Student Volunteer Program

If you are a student wanting to attend ESUG, have you considered being a student volunteer? Student volunteers help keep the conference running smoothly, and in return, they receive free accommodations while still having most of the time to enjoy the conference. For more information, visit: http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2015/ or http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2015/Student-volunteers.
