SAN DIEGO COMIC-CONJULYSAN DIEGO

Comic-Con activation staff for booths and off-site builds.

Comic-Con takes over downtown San Diego. The biggest brand moments happen in off-site activations across the Gaslamp, where lines wrap around the block. We cast, train and run your booth crew so every conversation counts, and every shift is GPS-verified in Spark.

>> WHY SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON IS DIFFERENT

What your San Diego Comic-Con crew has to handle.

01 // THE CROWD

The crowd

Passionate fans, creators, studios and media, many of them in line for hours.

02 // OFF-SITE ACTIVATIONS

Off-site activations

Studios and brands run immersive builds outside the convention center that need hosts, line management and wristbanding.

03 // LINE MANAGEMENT

Line management

Long lines need staff who keep the energy up, manage capacity and capture signups.

04 // HOTEL SHORTAGES

Hotel shortages

Downtown hotels sell out, so local San Diego crews are the cost saver.
