Hiring Event Staff for a MomoCon Booth or Game Station

Need event staff for Momocon in Atlanta? Eleven8 provides game demo hosts, booth staff, brand ambassadors, production assistants and queue staff from the Atlanta area for the studios, publishers, figure makers and brands exhibiting at MomoCon in the Georgia World Congress Center.

MomoCon Event Staffing for Game Studios and Exhibitors

Game studios, anime companies and other exhibitors at MomoCon hire Eleven8 for event staff at Atlanta's anime, gaming and pop culture convention in the Georgia World Congress Center. MomoCon started as a small gathering at Georgia Tech and now fills two buildings of the convention campus; the 2026 show counted a record 67,277 unique visitors over four days. The 2027 convention runs Thursday to Sunday, May 27-30, and our Atlanta event staff can cover every day, from the Thursday afternoon opening to the Sunday close.

What sets MomoCon apart is how much of it is play. Next to the exhibit hall, Artist Alley and autograph areas, the convention runs one of the largest open game halls in the country, with esports stages, console tournaments, PC and LAN gaming, a classic arcade and a separate tabletop area for board, card, miniatures and role-playing games. A large share of the crowd comes to play rather than browse, so a booth wins attention by putting a controller, a deck or a set of dice in someone's hands. That makes the person running your demo the most important hire on your list.

Demos only work when they are run well. Our demo hosts teach a game in a minute or two, keep sessions to a set length so the line keeps moving, wipe down equipment between players, collect sign-ups or wishlist adds and hand the hard questions to your developers. For small indie and international studios, two hosts at the station free the developers to meet press, publishers and other studios during the busiest hours.

MomoCon also sells and shows physical collectibles. In 2026 the Japanese figure and model showcase Wonder Festival made its US debut on the show floor, and figure, model and plush sellers need people who handle fragile displays with care, keep look-but-do-not-touch rules friendly and sell limited pieces fairly. Brand ambassadors in Atlanta from our roster also run sampling, giveaways and sign-up drives for drink, snack and hardware brands.

MomoCon Staffing Plan for the Exhibit Hall and Game Hall

Every MomoCon booking follows our 11-step process, adapted to a four-day show that splits its crowd between the exhibit hall and the game hall. Before Thursday we look at where your space sits, which tournaments, panels or signings are scheduled near it and how attendance usually climbs from the afternoon opening to the Saturday peak, then set the headcount for each day separately.

Once you book, one account manager owns the job and our operations office backs them up at no added cost. They register crew names for exhibitor badges before the organizer's cutoff, check your load-in slot and dock, plan how each person gets downtown by MARTA or car, and keep a client chat and a crew chat apart so instructions never get mixed up.

Each morning the team clocks in by geo-location at your space before doors, tests every demo station, counts stock and runs through the day's schedule with the lead. Because MomoCon spreads across two buildings of the campus, leads know the quickest route between your spaces and stay in touch with every station in a shared chat until the hall closes.

1 standby per 8 staff members — a pre-briefed reserve on call near downtown Atlanta on each show day, free of charge
Geo-located clock in & out — a time-stamped record that each person reached your booth or demo station before the doors opened
Dedicated account manager & floor leads — one planner for the whole convention and a lead in each hall where you have a space
Daily recap & staff ratings — demo plays, sign-ups, sales, queue times and fan feedback, sent after each of the four show days

MomoCon Show Day Plan in Eleven Steps

From the Thursday afternoon opening to Sunday pack-out
1
Schedule Check
Client and crew chats open. Badges, load-in slot, travel plans, shifts and nearby tournaments and signings are confirmed before Thursday.
2
Arrival
Staff reach the campus early, clock in by geo-location at your space and are in position well before fans enter the hall for the day.
3
Walkthrough
Leads show the booth, stock storage, checkout, restrooms, break areas, the dock and the walk between the two buildings of the campus.
4
Station Plan
Leads assign demo hosts, ambassadors, cashiers and queue staff to each station and set the order of breaks and restock runs.
5
Morning Briefing
The crew reviews the day's tournaments, panels and signings nearby, the game controls, product facts, prices and purchase limits.
6
Demo Test
Consoles, PCs, screens and tabletop sets tested, stock counted and card readers working at least 30 minutes before the hall opens.
7
Doors Open
Fans arrive. Leads watch the queue and the schedule, add hosts before a nearby event lets out and call runners for stock early.
8
Breaks
Breaks rotate within labor rules so demos, checkout and queues stay staffed, with extra cover planned for the Saturday peak.
9
Lead Fixes It
A broken console, a lost child, a spill or a dispute in the queue is handled by the lead quietly and away from your guests.
10
Hall Close
After the hall closes the station is reset, equipment secured, stock counted and tomorrow's supplies laid out, or packed on Sunday.
11
Debrief
Badges checked, crew debriefed, and demo plays, sign-ups, sales and fan comments reported to your account manager every evening.

Event Staffing Roles at Momocon

Convention staff greeting visitors at an exhibitor booth

Our Game Demo Hosts run the playable side of your MomoCon booth or game hall station. They learn your game before the show, explain the controls in a minute or two, keep each session to the length you set so the line keeps moving, and wipe controllers, headsets and touch screens between players. They collect sign-ups and wishlist adds, note what players say about the build and pass technical or business questions straight to your developers, who can then spend their time on press and meetings.

MomoCon Exhibitors Staffed by Our Atlanta Crews

Our clients at MomoCon and other fan conventions include video game publishers and indie studios, tabletop and card game publishers, anime streaming and distribution companies, figure, model and plush makers, gaming hardware and accessory brands, energy drink and snack brands, apparel labels, Atlanta game and comic stores and Artist Alley creators. Some run a large booth with a dozen demo stations; others need one person at a table so the creator can take a lunch break. MomoCon visitors are experts in what they love, and the staff we place match that. The convention staff for Atlanta shows on our roster are briefed on your catalog before each convention.

Eleven8 is an independent staffing agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MomoCon, its organizer or the Georgia World Congress Center. MomoCon is a trademark of its owner. We provide event staff to the companies and creators exhibiting at the convention. All marks belong to their owners and are used for identification only.

MomoCon Tabletop Demo Staff in Atlanta

Exhibitors at MomoCon need very different people. A board game publisher needs hosts who can teach a rules-heavy game at a crowded table, a figure studio needs careful hands and a calm voice beside a glass case, and a two-person indie developer needs someone who can talk about the build while the founders meet a publisher. We match the crew to your product, and demo staff from our Atlanta team learn your game or range before Thursday.

Why Brands Choose Eleven8 at Momocon

Atlanta Fans on Your Crew

We accept only a small fraction of applicants, and for MomoCon we pick Atlanta staff who play, watch and collect in the fandoms on show. Then we match them to your space: fighting game players at a fighting game station, tabletop regulars at your demo tables, anime fans at a streaming or merchandise booth and careful collectors beside a figure display.

Two Buildings, One Plan

MomoCon spreads its exhibit hall, game hall, tabletop area and autograph space across two buildings of the Georgia World Congress Center. Our leads plan the walking routes, keep reserve stock close to your space and time breaks so nobody spends half an hour crossing the campus while your booth is a person short at the busiest moment of the day.

Briefed Before Thursday

Every staff member learns your game or product range, prices, purchase limits and licensor rules before the show opens, and wears the uniform you choose. Fans at MomoCon notice at once when someone is reading from a card, so the briefing is what lets your crew answer questions with confidence on the first afternoon instead of the last.

Insured, With the Paperwork

Insurance paperwork is often the last thing an exhibitor chases. Our liability coverage applies to every worker we send, and if your exhibitor agreement asks for the Georgia World Congress Center Authority or the organizer to be named as additional insureds, we produce that document for you. We also plan for late-May storms in Atlanta, which slow the morning drive downtown.

Every Station You Run

A MomoCon program might include a main booth, a station in the game hall, a tabletop demo area, a creator's table in Artist Alley, an autograph session for a guest you bring and a hotel meetup at night. We staff each piece with the right people and run all of them under one account manager, with a single daily recap that covers everything you had on the floor.

Fast Changes Across Four Days

A tournament bracket runs late and floods your station with players, a guest's flight is delayed, a console dies an hour after doors. Message your lead or our operations line at any point during show hours and we can shift people between your spaces or bring in the reserve while the problem is still small, then tell you exactly what changed.

MomoCon gives exhibitors four days with tens of thousands of fans who came to play, collect and watch. We send Atlanta crews who teach your game, look after your displays and keep your lines fair from Thursday to Sunday. Companies also showing at the city's Labor Day convention can read our Dragon Con staffing page, and those exhibiting in Houston on the same May weekend can see Comicpalooza staffing.

Every crew member sent to MomoCon passes an interview and reference check, is trained on our 11-step process and gets a session on your game or products before Thursday. You see every profile in advance and can swap anyone you are unsure about, so the team that meets you at load-in already knows its job and your products.
24,821 Active Staff Across North America
Atlanta is a large part of our roster, so crews for MomoCon come from the metro area instead of from flights and hotel rooms booked at holiday-weekend rates. That lets us give the organizer your crew names well ahead of the badge cutoff and keep reserves a short drive from downtown on every day of the convention, Thursday through Sunday.
A Single Account Manager
One account manager takes your MomoCon booking from the first message through badges, load-in, travel plans, shifts, demos, queues and evening events to the final recap. The operations office supports them without charge, and your instructions go in a client chat that stays separate from the crew chat, so nothing gets lost between your team and ours.
One Reserve per Eight Staff
For each eight people working a show day, one more is briefed on your booth and kept on standby around Atlanta at our expense. If a staff member falls ill or gets stuck in traffic on the Downtown Connector, that person heads in instead, and you get their name and expected arrival time by text before the gap is noticed.
Gaming and Convention Experience
Our Atlanta staff have worked anime and comic conventions, esports events, game launches, store signings and trade shows at the Georgia World Congress Center. They know how to keep a demo line fair, how to sell limited stock without arguments, how to talk to a cosplayer in full costume and how to keep their energy up on the fourth day of a show.
Support on Every Show Day
Leads and your account manager answer from load-in until Sunday pack-out. If you need another host because a tournament just ended next to you, or a cashier because a restock has arrived, send a message and we arrange it the same day, usually before the next rush, and tell you exactly who is coming and when they will reach your space.

MomoCon Game Hall Staffing Questions

When is MomoCon 2027? +
MomoCon 2027 is scheduled for Thursday to Sunday, May 27-30, 2027, at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta, over Memorial Day weekend. In 2026 the show ran May 21-24, opening at 2 p.m. on Thursday and closing at 5 p.m. on Sunday; the 2027 opening and closing times were still unpublished as of October 2026. Send your exhibit days on the form and we will hold a crew while the schedule is finalized.
Can exhibitors run demo stations in the MomoCon game hall? +
Yes. MomoCon lets exhibitors place stations in its game hall as well as the exhibit hall, and that is where many players spend most of their day. We staff those stations with hosts who set up and test the hardware, run timed sessions, keep a waiting list, clean equipment between players and log play counts. The game hall has been advertised as open around the clock; if your station stays open late, we can schedule a night shift or close it for you at a set hour.
Which roles should a MomoCon booth book? +
For a game company the core is demo hosts, plus a production assistant to build the stations and keep the hardware running. Merchandise and collectible sellers lean on cashiers and floor staff who can watch a display while they ring up sales, and drink or hardware brands add ambassadors for sampling and sign-ups. If you bring a guest for a signing, add queue and check-in staff. Share your floor plan with us and we will propose roles and numbers for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
How many staff does a MomoCon booth need? +
It depends on your stations and days. A single Artist Alley table can work with one helper for breaks and busy hours. A 10x10 booth with one demo station usually needs two or three people. A large booth with several stations, a checkout and a signing can need ten or more on Saturday, the busiest day, and fewer on Thursday afternoon and Sunday. We plan the headcount day by day rather than booking the peak for all four days, which keeps your cost down.
Are your MomoCon staff gamers and anime fans? +
Yes. We recruit Atlanta staff who play video and tabletop games, watch anime, collect figures and spend their own weekends at conventions, and a fighting game fan ends up at a fighting game station, not at a plush stand. Before Thursday each one is taught your game or range, prices and licensor rules, which means the excitement is backed by facts. If a fan asks something technical or a business opportunity comes up, our staff hand the conversation to your team rather than guessing.
Can you staff MomoCon and Comicpalooza on the same weekend? +
Yes, and the timing matters. Comicpalooza in Houston also falls on Memorial Day weekend, with ticket listings showing May 28-30, 2027, so a company showing at both cannot move one crew between them. We book a local team in each city, one from Atlanta and one from Houston, briefed from the same materials and run by the same account manager, and you receive recaps from both shows in the same format each evening.
How early should we book MomoCon staff? +
Aim for eight to ten weeks before the show, and earlier if you need many demo hosts or staff on all four days. Each staff badge is drawn from your exhibitor allowance, and MomoCon asks for those names by a cutoff date, so our schedule starts from that date. Use the request form to tell us your booth or station, days and roles; we send a priced plan with profiles, you pick your crew and uniform, and the booking is confirmed once the deposit is paid.
What happens if a MomoCon staff member calls in sick? +
A reserve takes the shift. On every show day one briefed person is kept on call in the Atlanta area for each eight people you book, without extra charge. If someone calls in sick or is delayed, the reserve heads to the campus and you get a message with the replacement's name. We also confirm the next day's crew every evening, which matters on a four-day show where Saturday is the day you can least afford a gap.
