Hire Event Staff for Your Dragon Con Booth
Booth staff, brand ambassadors, event coordinators and pop-up teams for the game companies, publishers, studios, merchandise makers and agencies exhibiting at Dragon Con in downtown Atlanta.
Hire Dragon Con Brand Ambassadors for Exhibitors and Vendors
Showing a new game in the vendor hall, selling collectibles from a booth or hosting fans at your own event downtown? Eleven8 staffs Dragon Con booths and events for the exhibitors there, using who greet fans, run demos and checkout, and know comics, games, science fiction and fantasy well enough to talk with people who have been coming for decades. The 2027 convention runs over Labor Day weekend, from Thursday, September 2, to Monday, September 6, and in 2026 more than 75,000 people were expected.
Dragon Con does not happen in one building. Panels and programming fill five host hotels: the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, the Hilton Atlanta, the Westin Peachtree Plaza and the Courtland Grand, the former Sheraton. The vendor booths sit across the street in AmericasMart Building 2, with tabletop gaming in Building 3. Fans walk between them all day through skybridges, lobbies and packed sidewalks, so we plan routes and travel time into every shift, and we place stock, breaks and backups close to your booth rather than across downtown.
Booths come with only two badges for each 10x10 space, which makes every badge holder count. Our are picked because they can welcome fans, demo a product and take payment, so a small team can cover a long day. Dragon Con's rules also forbid handing out flyers or cards in the convention and hotel spaces, so we bring people to your booth with conversation, demos and giveaways inside your space instead.
Badges, panel rooms, the parade and security belong to Dragon Con and its volunteers, so Eleven8 crews stay within your booth and the rooms or storefronts you have booked. Tell us your booth size, days, products and any events you are hosting through the form on this page, and we will reply with a quote, profiles of available staff and a day-by-day plan.
Dragon Con Staffing Across Hotels and AmericasMart
Every Eleven8 team at Dragon Con works to our 11-step staffing process, adapted to a convention spread across five hotels and two AmericasMart buildings. We plan who holds your two booth badges, how stock and breaks reach the vendor hall, and how long it takes to cross downtown when the skybridges are full.
From booking onward, one account manager looks after your whole Dragon Con program, supported by our office at no added cost. Your people and our crew each have their own chat, so a sold-out item, a new demo time or a change to your evening event reaches the right staff quickly, from load-in to Monday afternoon.
Each day, staff clock in with a geo-located check 15 minutes early, often arriving by MARTA because downtown parking is scarce that weekend, walk your booth with their lead and are at their stations 30 minutes before the vendor hall opens. A live crew chat links your booth with any pop-up or event you run elsewhere downtown.

Thursday load-in to Monday teardownDragon Con Booth Staff and Street Team Roles
Our Dragon Con Brand Ambassadors are the faces of your booth and your events. They invite fans in from the aisle, run reveals and giveaways, pose for photos with the cosplayers who fill every hallway and talk about your games, books or shows with real knowledge. Because flyers are not allowed in convention spaces, they win attention with conversation and demos, and they stay warm and patient through five long, crowded days.

AmericasMart Vendor Hall Staff for Dragon Con
The vendor halls fill three floors of Building 2, with the artist alley above them and tabletop gaming next door in Building 3. Our staff know the building from other shows there, including the freight elevators, the loading routes and the quickest way back from the skybridge with a box of stock, which matters when an item sells out at noon on Saturday.

Why Companies Choose Eleven8 Staffing
Few applicants make our roster, and each one is matched to your products. A tabletop publisher is sent people who play its titles, a comics publisher gets readers and a streaming studio gets people who watch its shows, so conversations at your booth sound like fans talking with fans, which is what Dragon Con attendees expect after years of coming back.
Dragon Con is famous for its costumes, and the hallways are full of them from morning to late at night. Our staff are comfortable with photo requests, crowded aisles and elaborate costumes in narrow spaces, take pictures for fans gladly and know the difference between a fun moment and a blocked aisle that the lead needs to clear.
Dragon Con does not allow flyers or cards to be handed out or left in convention and hotel spaces, and the hotels are private property. Our teams promote your brand inside your booth, at your own events and in spaces you have the right to use, so your company keeps a good relationship with the convention and its venues.
Our staff are insured whether they work in the vendor hall, at a hotel suite event or at a pop-up on a downtown sidewalk, which is often the first thing a venue or landlord asks for. That leaves your own team free to focus on fans, press and retail buyers instead of paperwork during a busy holiday weekend in Atlanta.
Many exhibitors run more than a booth: a launch party in a hotel, a meetup with creators or a pop-up near Peachtree Center. Our teams cover all of it under one account manager, with the same uniforms, talking points and reporting, and runners who move stock and people between the vendor hall and your other spaces as the day changes.
Dragon Con programming and parties run late into the night in the host hotels, long after the vendor hall closes. Our office and your leads stay reachable through the evening, so an extra host for a party that is bigger than planned or an earlier crew for the morning after can be arranged that same night.
From choosing your two badge holders to Monday's teardown, our Dragon Con teams bring fan knowledge, careful respect for the convention's rules and a crew that knows its way around AmericasMart and the host hotels. Exhibitors who also work use the same approach on both coasts. Send your booth size, days and events in a , and an Atlanta team plan for the weekend follows.
