Call for Student Volunteers

IEEE Quantum Week 2023 will be held as an in-person event with virtual participation in Bellevue, Washington, USA at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on Seattle’s Eastside.  As a hybrid event, we are broadcasting the sessions to virtual participants and recording the sessions for QCE On-Demand after the main event ends on September 22.

IEEE Quantum Week 2023 features 14-15 parallel program tracks per day over six days — Sun-Fri, Sep 17-22, 2023. QCE23 needs approximately 55 student volunteers to run the 87 hybrid tracks and the conference (e.g., registration desk) effectively. For volunteering for two full days at QCE23, student volunteers will receive a full complimentary QCE23 registration.

To apply as a student volunteer, please fill out the Student Volunteer Application Form and submit the form via the QCE23 EasyChair Student Volunteer Track. You must create an EasyChair account if you don’t already have one. You can also use this account for your paper submission for QCE24.

Please note: Student volunteers must commit to travel to Bellevue, Washington, to participate in-person at IEEE Quantum Week 2023. There are no remote volunteer opportunities as were offered during the pandemic.

Thus, we kindly invite graduate students with interests in the topics of the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE) to apply for two days (9:30-17:15) of volunteering for QCE23 in exchange for a complimentary QCE23 registration.
