The IAEM Conference Committee is seeking volunteers (volunteers can be students or others needing to defray conference registration fees), for the IAEM 57th Annual Conference & EMEX Exhibit, October 31st to November 5th in Orlando, Florida. Volunteering provides you with the opportunity to network with key stakeholders at all levels of government, the private sector, public health and related professions in emergency management and homeland security. Volunteers play an integral role and contribute to the success of the annual conferences.
Being a volunteer can also reduce your conference costs. Volunteers receive $25 registration fee discount for each hour worked (with a minimum of two hours). You will not be compensated for any hours worked which exceed value of registration fee ($200 for IAEM student members, $450 for all other IAEM members, and $550 for non-members)
