The SCinet Committee for SC24 is full. Please check back in early 2025.

As a volunteer, you’ll join more than 180 professionals from around the globe working together to design, deliver, install, and operate SCinet at SC. Our team members come from educational institutions, government agencies, high performance computing sites, research and education networks, equipment vendors, and telecommunications carriers

The Student Volunteers program offers opportunities for students interested in the nuts and bolts of networking.

Women in IT Networking at SC (WINS) seeks qualified female U.S. candidates to join the SCinet workforce.

Contributors can support SCinet in several ways:

• Donate hardware, software, and/or services
• Provide logo-branded shirts for all members of the SCinet team to wear during the conference
• Donate to the Volunteer Travel Support Fund
