Job Descriptions

Why Apply?

  • Being on the committee (regardless of position) means that you will be an integral part in making decisions that help this conference continue to happen!

  • It is an opportunity to connect with other students and faculty members in the program, and in some cases even with students from schools across Canada!

  • Being part of organizing a conference like this is a great addition to a resume or CV, as it shows passion and commitment to the material and/or the skills required

  • Planning this conference will help you advance many existing skills, such as decision making (sometimes under pressure), organization and staying on top of your tasks, communicating professionally, finding creative solutions to problems, and more!

  • The conference can present PHP students with a lot of networking opportunities, and this opportunity is made even better with the exclusive perks of being on the committee (eg. personally connecting with the conference’s keynote speaker)
