GDCMARCHSAN FRANCISCO

GDC booth staff who can talk to game developers.

GDC is a room full of developers who build what you're selling. They will try the demo, push the controls and ask how it actually works. We cast, train and run your booth crew so every conversation counts, and every shift is GPS-verified in Spark.

>> WHY GDC IS DIFFERENT

What your GDC crew has to handle.

01 // THE CROWD

The crowd

Engineers, designers, studio heads and platform partners, most of them hands-on technical buyers.

02 // DEMO STATIONS

Demo stations

Playable builds and dev tools need someone to run the station, reset it and keep the line moving.

03 // MOSCONE RULES

Moscone rules

Moscone has specific labor rules for setup and some on-site work, so brand staff roles are scoped carefully.

04 // EVENING EVENTS

Evening events

Studio parties and developer meetups around SoMa drive real relationships after the expo closes.

>> QUESTIONS

GDC staffing, answered.

Can your staff run playable demos at GDC?

Yes. Demo leads are trained hands-on on the build before the show, including how to reset the station and when to hand off to your developers.

Do you use local San Francisco staff for GDC?

Yes. Local Bay Area crews avoid hotel costs during a busy conference week.

Can you staff GDC evening events?

Yes. Parties and meetups are staffed as separate evening shifts.

How are GDC leads delivered?

Captured in Spark and exported nightly to your CRM or as a CSV.
