Helpers needed @ Gen Con 2023 - Free Badges, Hotel, Games
I know with ScapeCon and HexiCon and others, there will be no Heroscape at GenCon 2023 (Aug 2-6 2023), but for those that would still like to go for other games and the exhibit hall, there is a way to go for free!
Double Exposure Envoy Heralds are the largest group that runs demoing games at conventions and game stores and does for over 40 game publishers. This year they will try to have over 200 helpers at Gen Con to demo games, mostly as free ticketed events in the event hall but also at publisher booths and all of the First Exposure playtest/crowdfunding hall. The opportunities are as follows
Helpers get a free four-day badge (worth $135), a four-night (Wed-Sun) hotel room share at an adjacent hotel with up to 3 other helpers (worth $350), free games and a shirt from the publisher you help (worth $100-250), as well as game "raffle" on the last day that usually gets 3-5 more games (you put your top preferences but are not guaranteed, but usually $100-250 value depending on games). If you bring a full carload of helpers there is also reimbursement for travel up to $200/vehicle. So $685-1035 value (this $ is paid by publishers) for 20-24 hours (still plenty of time to do other stuff) is $30-50 an hour but the experience is priceless. If you are interested in helping at Gen Con 2023, please fill out the following form (if in a group please fill out an individual survey for EACH person). If you already bought tickets and/or have hotel, you can help part-time a few shifts to get free games. https://forms.gle/aBtwPrRxArsr3DdN6 While you are at it if you can attend and help at Origins 2023 (June 21-25 in Columbus, Ohio) for pretty much the same deal, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/APnqeGhwmmxmhuF28 While they are going to be collecting survey responses starting now, please note that they will NOT be contacting anyone until March 14th at the earliest. I have helped at Gen Con every time I have been in the last 8 years (missed attending a year or two) as well as helped at Origins and Pax Unplugged. I actually enjoy doing it as it I am the personally that loves teaching games and doesn’t mind trying to sell a game I like, so it doesn’t even feel like work for me. Pros and cons for me is that I have:
