Join Us! The Events for Gamers Team is Expanding

Do you want to join a team that’s focused on promoting and supporting game industry events? We are looking for volunteers to cover conferences like GDC, conventions like PAX, fanfests, small gatherings, and other event types. We need people throughout the world to write about their regional events and industry happenings.

Perks:

• Free access to the events and possibly hardware opportunities
• Access to VIP meetups and after-parties
• Experience to put on your resume and portfolio samples
• Opportunities for one-on-one interviews with people you want to meet

Here are a few ways you can contribute (let us know if you think of any others you’d want to dive into!):

BLOGGER OR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTER

There are so many opportunities to write great articles about the industry and share them on social media.

Example of a more indepth on-site event coverage plan:

• Write a pre-coverage story about an event and what you expect, what you’re going to check out, etc.
• Take lots of pictures with captions and identifiers if possible; these should be posted on social media.
• Post on social media:
  • For Facebook and Instagram: Lots of photos with captions and identifiers if possible.
  • For Twitter and Bluesky: Picking at least one part of the event to tweet. If it’s a short event, tweet the whole thing; if it’s longer, tweet about what you’re attending (walking the floor, listening to a panel, etc.)
• Create videos for E4G’s YouTube channel: Interviews with celebrities and other various people; simple shots of the crowds or whenever photos may not do something justice.
• Write an article that sums up the event and your experience.

Or, you could just focus on sharing brief news that you feel would be of interest to our event community on the social media channels.

SPOTLIGHT YOUR EVENT PHOTOS

Do you love taking event photos? Whether you are exploring a conference series of panels or a booth hall at a convention center, we would love to share your experience!

You can capture several photos and videos and even write an article about the event if you like. We will feature your work (you are the author/copyright) on the front page, social media channels, and newsletter!

Don’t have a pass yet to your favorite event? Let us know and we’ll get you one for free in exchange for writing about the event! Contact us.

OTHER WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

• Finding events and letting us know what should be added to the calendar, and correcting/updating us on event information that is out of date
• Partner relations and establishing connections with event coordinators and business opportunities (for cost: we can place ads, send out email newsletters, and I’m trying to figure out a few more revenue streams that events and general industry persons would actually want to use). This includes finding sites we can list our calendar on to improve linkback SEO via organic search.
• General website/calendar maintenance, SEO tweaking of event pages and blog posts, suggestions on improving the layout, etc.

Not sure about the above but you still want to help, please contact us with your experience and what you have in mind for your contribution. We’d love to have you on board.

Thanks, event gurus!
