Free Convention Badges, Hotel Rooms, and Games to help demo
The group Double Exposure Envoy Heralds are the largest group that runs demoing games at conventions and game stores and does for over 70 game publishers. This year they will try to have hundreds of helpers at all the large boardgame conventions, mostly to run full demoes of games in the event hall but also some publishers need workers at publisher booths to run quick demoes and sell games, so are looking for volunteers for any you can help with.
The opportunities are as follows (not all opportunities at all conventions)
Helpers get a free four-day badge as GM or Exhibitor (worth $80-135), a four-night (Wed-Sun) hotel room share at an adjacent hotel with up to 3 other helpers (worth $200-350, with opportunities to pay extra to have your own bed), 2-8 free games and a shirt from the publisher you help (worth $100-350), as well as game "raffle" on the last day that usually gets 2-4 more games (you put your top preferences but are not guaranteed, but usually $80-250 value depending on games). If you bring a full carload of helpers there is also reimbursement for travel up to $200/vehicle. So $460-1135 value (this $ is paid by publishers) for 20-24 hours (still plenty of time to do other stuff) is $25-55 an hour, but the experience is priceless. If you are interested in helping at at any of the below cons please fill out the related google interest 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, just fill out on form that your time will be split.
If you would like to be on Double Exposure's mailing list for future conventions (Pax Unplugged, Dice Tower, etc), or learn about how you can run your own events at local/regional conventions, meetups, and game stores in exchange for free games from publishers (you can usually get new games before they go on sale) , fill out the Envoy Heralds interest form at https://www.dexposure.com/envoy/envoyheralds.html Post a comment below on which forms you filled out C3V/SoV cards @ 3/page PDF / LeftOn4ya's Customs (including Jurassic World) / Competitive Unit Alters / New?
