EMC 2016 - IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility is now recruiting volunteers
The conference will run Monday-Friday July 25-29 this summer at the Ottawa Shaw Convention Centre. Some registration volunteers will be needed Sunday afternoon July 24, and a volunteer facilities tour is also planned for that day.
EMC 2016 needs volunteers in a variety of roles, during that six day period. We greatly appreciate anyone who cares to put their name forward. IEEE conferences are always a great opportunity for networking and camaraderie.
You can find the conference web site at:http://www.emc2016.emcss.org
This year, for the first time, the IEEE Ottawa Section is trying a new, automated volunteer recruitment and management software tool. Our hope is that this will make the entire process of volunteer sign-up and communications more efficient and transparent for all involved.
The tool is called In it Live (or InitLive), a Kanata Wesley-Clover startup, created for volunteer management. It consists of a web site and a smartphone app. The site is used for signup and shift selection. The app will be used during the conference for attendance and communications.
First thing you need to do is go to the InitLive conference link:
https://app.initlive.com/JE/i8q93mmhqawx7y
You will be asked to sign up for
EMC 2016 - IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility
Please create an account. Thereafter, when you first log in you will be taken to an event list showing EMC 2016 as a selectable item.
The email address you enter will become your id. Also, the phone number you enter will become your main contact number for InitLive communications including SMS.
Once the account is created, it will become a part of your profile. I encourage you to further refine you profile with additional contact information and a photo so we can recognize you.
At this point you will be presented with an event list containing the EMC 2016 conference. Click on this link and it will present you with the conference volunteer home page. Your selection options as a volunteer are limited to a simple 3-step process.
Currently we are only collecting the names and contact information of interested volunteers. Step 3, shifts, isn't available yet. Once the program is stable, a call will go out to all those in the system to sign up for specific shifts.
A conference brochure and the volunteer handbook are available for download on the InitLive conference website.
If you have any questions please contact:
