CBIE2024 is Canada’s international education (IE) conference that brings together over 1,000 international education practitioners from Canada and around the world to learn, be inspired and connect.
To help support our conference, CBIE is looking for student volunteers fluent in English or French who are available to commit to at least two four-hour shifts from November 3rd to 6th and attend a mandatory orientation session on November 2nd at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario.
Volunteer Roles
Registration Desk Attendant
This position involves welcoming attendees, helping with on-site registration, identifying and troubleshooting issues with CBIE staff, supporting name-badge printing, and distributing swag items to attendees.
Lobby Ambassador
This position involves answering attendee questions and guiding people to various locations throughout the conference. This year our conference is taking place across two adjacent venues, so it will be important for Lobby Ambassadors to be knowledgeable about the layout of the space, and where various activities will be held.
Session Monitor
This position involves keeping track of the number of attendees entering the various workshops and sessions that will be held on site, monitoring room capacity, and identifying and troubleshooting any issues with CBIE staff.
Microphone Runner
This position involves monitoring the keynote session audience during question periods and bringing wireless microphones to attendees so that they can ask their questions out loud.
In Appreciation
In appreciation for their time and hard work, we are pleased to offer volunteers:
- Access to conference sessions (that do not conflict with their duties)
- Lunch or refreshments during each shift
- Exposure to high profile speakers
- An incredible global networking opportunity
- A CBIE volunteer t-shirt
- A letter confirming their contribution and participation in the conference
