Work Scholars

Thank you for your interest in the AR Conference Work Scholar Program. This program allows conference participants to earn back all or part of their registration by helping at the conference (before and after also). It's a great opportunity to meet other participants and help us to make the conference the best it can be.

To get started, just register and select the "Work Scholar" option under Full Conference. Then This email address is being protected from spambots.

Do NOT tell us which sessions or speakers you want to see, as we do not reference that information when scheduling. We'll do our best to accommodate everyone and make sure you see the sessions you like the most! At the end of the conference, we will reimburse you up to the cost of your registration fee at the rate of $10/hour. It's a win-win situation that helps everyone.

Please note that low-income discounts cannot be combined with the work scholar program.
