Become a Conference Associate!

Volunteers So your startup is "seriously underfunded," you're a starving student, or you just can't imagine yourself at GDC without hundreds of your friends. Whatever the reason, you may still be able to attend this premiere event. Are you willing to earn your attendance by doing about 20 hours of work with a fantastic group of people? Apply to volunteer as a Conference Associate (CA)!

GDC 2010 runs from Tuesday morning, March 9th, 2010 through Saturday evening, March 13th, 2010. Conference Associates have pre-conference assignments and a required orientation dinner on Monday, March 8th, 2010. If you are accepted into the program, you are needed from the start of your Monday assignments through the end of the conference on the evening of the 13th, so plan accordingly.

To Apply:

Siimply fill-in the form on this page and submit it. Our CA managers, Tim Brengle and Ian MacKenzie, will send you an e-mail receipt for your application in the days following. You will be notified if you are accepted (or not) for our elite force on or before January 14th, 2010.

If you have not heard from them by the end of January 15th, 2010, or do not receive an application receipt confirmation e-mail, or have any comments or questions or concerns then e-mail Tim and Ian directly at camanager@neurobatics.com.

Please note: applications will be accepted up until the day before the orientation dinner. If your application is received after January 14th, all positions will have been filled and you will be given instructions for being added to the waiting list.

What are your benefits?

Full "All Access" pass privileges when not on-duty
Reduced hotel costs by sharing rooms with other CAs, if desired. (You will receive more information if accepted.)
A big group of interesting friends (or soon-to-be friends) from inside and out of the game industry to hang out with in the CA Lounge

What kind of work does the job involve?

Volunteers Challenging tasks (some might require advanced degrees) like:

Guarding doors
Monitoring conference sessions
Checking badges at meals and special events
Stuffing conference bags
Data entry
...And much more!

You will still be responsible for (better not forget to plan for these!):

Travel expenses to and from the conference.
Hotel or housing expenses (though we will have a reduced pricing option for those wishing to share rooms with other CAs)
Food expenses for any meals which are not normally provided to "All Access" pass holders
