WALK-IN DEMONSTRATIONS
CHI 99 participants interested in showing their work in progress, either live or on video,
are encouraged to use the CHI 99 Walk-In Demonstration area. A limited number of Walk-In
Demonstrations may be scheduled in advance with the Demonstrations Co-Chairs. All other slots
will be available on site on a first-come, first-served basis. No advance submissions are
required for this event.
CHI 99 will provide a flip chart and some basic equipment including an IBM PC and Apple
Macintosh (both with built-in audio support) and an NTSC VCR. No external speakers, external
CD-ROM drives, or ZIP drives will be provided. Participants with more extensive needs should
bring their own hardware and software.

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
Student Volunteers are integral to the success of each CHI conference. Students from all
disciplines are invited to be part of the most exciting event in the HCI field. A wide
variety of positions are available at the conference. Many of the duties are not glamorous,
but all provide opportunities to interact with CHI 99 contributors, attendees, and committee
members from all parts of the world and from diverse areas of the HCI community.
In return for 20 hours of work during the conference, volunteers receive free
registration, some meals, a Conference Reception ticket, a T shirt, and an invitation to the
volunteer thank-you event. Student volunteers are responsible for their own housing, travel
to and from Pittsburgh, and those meals not provided. Reduced housing rates are available
for confirmed student volunteers.
Volunteers must be undergraduate, Master's, or doctoral students during
the 1998 -1999 academic year. All
students, regardless of discipline, are encouraged to apply. No experience
is required. We are looking for
enthusiastic, intelligent, reliable
people. Volunteers must commit to a total of 20 volunteer hours of work at
the conference.
