Conference Associates Registration
Become a Conference Associate!

The 2008 CA acceptance process will begin in Fall 2007. Stay tuned.

So you're a starving student, you've realized your milestone payment really isn't coming, your ex-dotcom company just ran out of funding, or you've been unemployed for the past couple of months (or years). Whatever the reason, you may still be able to attend this premiere event if you're 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)!

What are your benefits?

  • Full Giga pass privileges when not on-duty
  • Reduced hotel costs by sharing rooms with other CAs, if desired
  • 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? 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 this!):

  • 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 that are not normally provided to Giga pass holders
