Event Staff for Hospitality Houses, Fan Zones and Pop-Ups at LA 2028

Planning a brand presence around the LA 2028 Olympic Games? Our event staff work for the brands, agencies, hospitality houses and vendors activating in Los Angeles while the Olympic Games run from July 14 to July 30, 2028, and again while the Paralympic Games run from August 15 to August 27. That covers brand ambassadors for fan-facing activations, check-in staff and hosts for country and hospitality houses, street teams for city-wide sampling, production assistants for build and breakdown, and event managers to run the whole program, every one of them briefed on your brand before the first guest walks in.

Distance is the first thing to plan for. These Games have no single Olympic Park. Competition is spread across zones, from Inglewood, where SoFi Stadium hosts swimming and Intuit Dome hosts basketball, to Downtown, Exposition Park, the Valley, Pasadena and the Long Beach waterfront, with events as far out as Anaheim, Arcadia and San Clemente. Security perimeters and road closures will sit around each cluster for weeks, and the city is steering visitors onto transit. Somebody based in Santa Monica cannot be relied on to reach a Long Beach call time at nine in the morning. We staff each location with people who live near it, and we set call times around the closures published for that zone.

The second is the calendar. Seventeen Olympic days and thirteen Paralympic days sit either side of a gap of just over two weeks, and most brand programs open before the Opening Ceremony and close after the last medal. That can mean six weeks of shifts in a Southern California summer, where the Valley and the inland venues pass 90°F while the coast stays mild. California's heat-illness rules require shade, water and cool-down breaks for anyone working outdoors, so an outdoor site needs a bigger roster than the same footprint indoors. We build that rotation into the quote instead of discovering it on day three.

Third, the audience is international and the rules are strict. Visitors are expected from more than 200 countries, so we match languages to the guests you actually expect. The Olympic marks are also protected by federal law, and a brand that holds Games marketing rights may say things that a brand without them may not. We brief staff on what your scripts, signage and uniforms can and cannot say, so nobody improvises a line that becomes your problem.

You choose your own team. Tell us when and where you are activating, the roles you need and how many, and whether you are covering the Paralympic Games too. A quote comes back with a headshot sheet of available staff, you pick the people who will represent your brand, and we hold them for your dates. Staff who can commit to the whole summer are the first to be booked, so the earlier you ask, the more of them you get to choose from.

One Team From the Opening Ceremony to the Paralympics

The LA 2028 Olympic Games run July 14 to July 30, and the Paralympic Games follow from August 15 to August 27. From brand ambassadors at a fan activation near SoFi Stadium to hosts at a hospitality house Downtown and a street team working the crowds between Exposition Park and L.A. Live, Eleven8 staffs every location in your plan from one account.

Staff who can commit to the whole summer are booked first. Brands that confirm 12 to 18 months ahead get the widest choice of experienced people, a schedule built around their dates, and one coordinator for every location at no extra cost.

Eleven8 brand ambassadors staffing a brand activation

Brand ambassadors are the people most visitors will meet at your LA 2028 activation. We place them at fan experiences near the Inglewood venues, on the sand around Venice Beach and Alamitos Beach, and at pop-ups Downtown, choosing each one for the languages your guests speak and the confidence to hold a real conversation with a crowd that has travelled from all over the world to watch the Games.

What do Brand Ambassadors do? At an Olympic activation, brand ambassadors greet visitors, run demos and sampling, capture sign-ups, and keep the line moving at the peaks between sessions. They explain your product in plain language, handle questions about the Games with care, and stay inside the messaging your brand is allowed to use, so every conversation builds awareness without creating a problem for your legal team.

Eleven8 is an independent staffing agency - not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, LA28, or any company holding Games marketing rights. We provide event staff to the brands and organizations activating in Los Angeles during the Games. All marks belong to their owners and are used for identification only.

Top 3.5% of Applicants
Only 3.5% of applicants join our roster, and the people we send to an LA 2028 activation are drawn from the most experienced of them. Each one is trained on our 11-step event process and briefed on your brand, your location and your permitted messaging before the first shift, so nobody is learning your product in front of an international audience.
24,821 Active LA-Based Staff
Our staff live across Los Angeles, from the Valley to Long Beach, which is what makes a summer of road closures workable. We assign people who live close to your venue zone, so call times hold even when the freeways do not, and we deploy a team we already know rather than recruiting strangers in the weeks before the Games begin.
Dedicated Account Manager
One account manager runs your program from the first quote to the final recap, across every site and both Games. If you are activating in Inglewood, Downtown and Long Beach at the same time, you still have one person to call, with separate client and team channels and offsite operations management included at no additional cost.
1 Backup Per 8 Staff, Included
Every booking includes one briefed backup for every eight staff at no extra cost. Over a six-week run, illness, heat and transport delays are certain rather than possible, so backups are scheduled and briefed alongside your main team. When someone cannot make a shift, the replacement already knows your activation and lives close enough to arrive on time.
Multilingual Teams Ready
Staff are available in English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean, and we can source other languages for a particular delegation or market. Tell us which countries your guests are coming from, and we will match the team to them, whether that is a hospitality house hosting one nation or a fan activation welcoming visitors from everywhere.
24/7 Event Support
The Games run from early morning sessions to late evening finals, and brand programs keep the same hours. Your account manager and on-site supervisors are reachable around the clock for the full length of your activation, with offsite operations management included at no additional cost, so a problem at midnight is solved before your doors open.

Why Brands Choose Eleven8 for LA 2028

Los Angeles will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games across more than thirty-five venues, and the brands activating around them will be spread just as widely. Eleven8 gives you one staffing team for all of it: people who know the city, who can work a long summer without losing their energy, and who can move between a sand-level activation in Long Beach and a formal hospitality evening Downtown in the same week.

Elite Brand Ambassadors

Every ambassador we place is chosen for the energy and composure an Olympic crowd needs. Whether you are launching near Venice Beach, Exposition Park or SoFi Stadium, they start conversations with visitors from every continent, explain your product clearly, and keep your activation welcoming on the busiest finals nights as well as the quiet mornings.

Venue Experience

Our teams already work the buildings hosting LA 2028 events, including BMO Stadium, Crypto.com Arena and the LA Convention Center. They know the loading docks, the walking routes from transit and where guests bottleneck after a session, which makes it far easier to plan staffing for a hospitality lounge, a showcase or a fan activation nearby.

Seamless Guest Check-In

Hospitality houses and invitation-only events are won or lost at the door. Our registration staff manage guest lists, wristbands and QR codes quickly and politely, whether guests arrive at a Downtown hotel, a beachside house in Long Beach, or a private event in Pasadena, and they know how to handle a VIP who is missing from the list without holding up the line.

24/7 On-Site Support

With a dedicated LA-based coordinator on your program, last-minute requests, extra shifts and changes forced by road closures or heat are handled in real time. We are local, we know how the city moves while the Games are on, and we plan for a summer in which every single day brings a different competition schedule and a different crowd.

How We Run Your LA 2028 Activation

Every event we staff follows our proven 11-step event process, refined from thousands of large events and built for the demands of brand staffing at this scale in Los Angeles.

From the moment your team is booked, a dedicated account manager oversees your whole activation, with offsite operations management included at no additional cost. Pre-event briefings run through separate client and team channels, so everyone is aligned before a single guest arrives.

On event day, staff clock in via geo-located check-in 15 minutes early, complete a full venue walkthrough, and are set up at their stations 30 minutes before guests arrive. A dedicated group chat keeps your team connected in real time, so on-the-ground logistics get sorted immediately, even at the most complex venues.

1 backup per 8 staff members — included at no additional cost
Geo-located clock in & out — real-time confirmation your team is on site at every venue
Dedicated account manager & on-site supervisors — every event, every venue, every day
Post-event recap & staff feedback reports — so you know exactly how your activation performed

LA 2028 Event Staffing Questions

What kinds of LA 2028 activations do you staff? +
We staff the full range of brand activity around the Games: fan experiences and pop-ups near the Inglewood and Exposition Park venues, sampling and street teams in busy neighborhoods, hospitality houses run by national committees and brands, client entertainment in hotels, media events, and retail launches timed to the Opening Ceremony. Some brands hold a single site for all seventeen days, while others move a team between Downtown, the beach and the Valley as the competition schedule shifts. We also staff programs tied to the Games outside Los Angeles, such as the soccer preliminary rounds in other US cities. If your plan is still taking shape, tell us the audience you want to reach and we will suggest the roles and headcount that fit it.
What lead time do you need for LA 2028 staff? +
As early as you can, ideally 12 to 18 months before the Games. Every event agency in Southern California will be hiring from the same pool that summer, the organizing committee is recruiting a large workforce and volunteer program of its own, and many experienced staff will commit to a single program for the whole six weeks. The people with the strongest languages and the most experience go first. Booking early also buys time for the details that take longest: uniforms, product training, any background checks your venue or client requires, and a schedule that covers both Games. Late requests are still worth sending, because we fill short-notice bookings every week, but your choice of people narrows as the summer approaches.
Will the same people work both the Olympic and Paralympic Games? +
Yes, and we recommend it. The Olympic Games end on July 30 and the Paralympic Games begin on August 15, so a brand activating across both has a break of just over two weeks in the middle. Many brands keep their site standing and reopen for the Paralympics with new messaging, and returning staff already know the space, the product and the regular visitors. Tell us at the quote stage that you want continuity, and we will book people who can commit to both runs and hold them through the break. We also brief every Paralympic shift on accessible guest service, from step-free routes through your space to communicating with deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind and low-vision visitors.
Which LA 2028 venues and areas do you cover? +
We place staff in every LA 2028 zone and the neighborhoods around it. That includes Inglewood, around SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome; Downtown, around Crypto.com Arena, the Los Angeles Convention Center, Peacock Theater and Dodger Stadium; Exposition Park, around the LA Memorial Coliseum and BMO Stadium; the Long Beach waterfront and Long Beach Arena; Carson; the Sepulveda Basin in the Valley; Venice Beach; and the outlying venues in Pasadena, Anaheim, Arcadia and Pomona. Brand activity is not limited to venue addresses, so we also staff Santa Monica, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Westwood and the hotel districts where hospitality houses tend to settle. If your location is not listed here, ask us, because the answer is almost always yes.
Can your staff work inside the Olympic venues? +
That depends on what your brand has arranged. Access inside a competition venue's security perimeter is controlled by the organizers and requires Games accreditation, which is issued through the organization you are working with, not by a staffing agency. If your activation sits inside a perimeter, we supply staff who meet the accreditation requirements and submit their details on your timeline, which is usually months ahead of the Games. Most brand activity, though, happens outside the venues, at fan zones, hospitality houses, hotels and street-level activations, where no accreditation is needed. Tell us early which of your locations are inside a perimeter, and we will plan the roster and the paperwork around those deadlines first.
What changes for an outdoor activation in July and August heat? +
We plan for it from the first quote. Summer temperatures in the Valley, Pasadena and Pomona regularly climb past 90°F, and California's heat-illness rules require shade, fresh water and cool-down rest breaks for anyone working outdoors. For an outdoor activation that means scheduling rotations so the space is never short while someone is resting, which usually adds people to the roster compared with an indoor event of the same size. We ask about shade, water and a cool area in your site plan, brief staff on the early signs of heat illness, and choose uniforms that suit the conditions. Coastal sites in Long Beach and Venice are milder, but they bring strong sun and wind of their own.
Do you provide multilingual staff for international visitors? +
Yes. Visitors are expected from more than 200 countries, and a guest who is greeted in their own language stays longer and remembers the brand that did it. Our roster includes staff who speak Spanish, Mandarin, French, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean alongside English, and Los Angeles has communities from almost every competing nation, so we can usually source other languages on request. Tell us which countries your guests are coming from, or which delegation a hospitality house is hosting, and we will build the language mix around that. We also put bilingual captains on larger teams, so there is always someone on site who can step into a harder conversation.

LA 2028 Brand Ambassadors, Ready When You Are

The staff who work the city's biggest events every year will be in heavy demand in 2028. Our teams already work Crypto.com Arena, the Los Angeles Convention Center and the Rose Bowl, all of which host LA 2028 events. SoFi Stadium also hosts Super Bowl LXI in February 2027, eighteen months before the Games, which makes that week a useful dry run for any brand planning an LA 2028 presence. Bring our people onto your program early, and you start the summer with a team that already knows the venues, the crowds and the pace.

What is included in your rates for an LA 2028 activation? +
Our rates cover each staff member's time, their preparation and product training, travel to your site within Los Angeles, backup coverage of one briefed replacement for every eight staff, and account management from quote to recap. For an LA 2028 activation they also include the planning the summer demands: call times worked out around road closures, heat rotations for outdoor sites, and the scheduling needed to hold the same people across both Games. Branded uniforms, extended product training and specialist roles such as interpreters can be added, and we price each of them clearly in the quote, so there is nothing unexpected on the invoice when the program ends.
What happens if someone calls out sick during the Games? +
The backup for that shift steps in. Every booking includes one backup per eight staff at no extra cost, and during the Games those backups are briefed on your activation in advance and assigned to a nearby zone, not waiting on the other side of the city. When someone calls out, your account manager confirms the replacement and tells you who is arriving, and the captain on site hands over the station. Across a six-week program we also watch for fatigue and rotate people before it shows, because a tired ambassador on the final weekend reflects on your brand as much as an empty station would.
Do you provide team leads and event managers for large programs? +
Yes. Any team of meaningful size gets a captain, and larger programs get dedicated event managers who run the floor so your own people can focus on guests and clients. During the Games a lead does more than manage breaks: they follow session times at the nearest venue so staffing peaks with foot traffic, keep the team inside the messaging you signed off, report numbers to your account manager each day, and deal with guest issues before they reach you. For programs running in several locations, we assign a lead per site and one manager across all of them, so you receive a single report at the end of each day.
How do you staff a program that runs for several weeks? +
We build the schedule for the full program at the start, not week by week. That means shift patterns that keep staff fresh across seventeen Olympic days and thirteen Paralympic ones, the same core faces at your activation each day so guests and your own team see continuity, rest days planned in advance, and backups who already know your site. We track hours against California's overtime and meal-break rules, raise headcount on the days the schedule brings bigger crowds, such as finals nights near your venue, and keep one person responsible for the whole calendar, so nothing about your staffing needs explaining twice.
How do I get a quote for LA 2028 staff? +
Fill in the form on this page, email hello@elev8.la, or send us a text. Tell us your dates, the locations you are activating, the roles you need and roughly how many, and whether you are covering the Paralympic Games too. We come back quickly with a quote and a headshot sheet of available staff showing their languages and experience, you choose the people you want, and we hold them for your dates once the booking is confirmed. For LA 2028 in particular, an early quote is not a commitment, and it gives you the clearest picture of who is available before the summer calendar fills.
How do you handle problems during an activation? +
Your on-site lead deals with it first, and your account manager is a direct call away, never a call center. Most problems during the Games are practical: a late delivery held at a road closure, a queue that builds when a session lets out, a guest who needs directions to a venue across town. Our leads are trained to fix them quietly, away from guests and any cameras. Anything that affects your brand, your schedule or your budget comes straight to you with a recommendation, every issue goes into the daily report, and the lesson goes into the next morning's briefing so it does not happen twice.
When will I know who is working my activation? +
You choose your team from our headshot sheet when you book, so you know who is working your activation long before the Games begin. The full roster, with shift times, lead contact details and backup names, reaches you before your first day on site, and we update it whenever anything changes. For activations that need accreditation or a venue access list, we supply names by the deadline you are given, which is often months ahead. If you want to meet your leads before opening, we arrange a briefing call or an on-site walkthrough, which most brands find is the most useful hour they spend preparing for the summer.
How do staff get to work with road closures and security perimeters? +
We plan transport as carefully as the shifts. During the Games, road closures, security perimeters and traffic restrictions will surround each venue cluster, and the city is encouraging visitors to use transit. We assign staff who live near your zone wherever we can, build call times around the published closures, and brief each person on their route, including the Metro lines and drop-off points that serve your site. On the busiest session days we add extra margin to call times and keep backups close by, so a delay on the 405 or the 110 does not leave your activation short when the doors open.
