The deadline to apply to try to be a student assistant at the 2014 AMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia is 11 October. You must be an undergraduate of > sophomore standing. The Annual Meeting is 2-6 February 2014 and the AMS will cover your hotel and provide some cash for food but you'd have to cover your travel costs. More information is found here.
I did this opportunity twice and got to work at the registration desk (amazing opportunity to put faces to names) and then the Weather Preview Theater which meant watching awesome weather films (well, making sure they were properly started and the DVD player didn't blow up)! Other duties may include being in charge of timing of presentations and loading presentations onto the software. It's been a couple years so I'm sure there's even more exciting stuff to do. You are by no means enslaved so you typically only have to work half of the day and have the rest of the day to attend talks and other activities.
Applications are due by midnight on 11 October! If you are an AMS student member then you should apply!!!
