Hi there everyone, first time using the forum! I am a lifelong gamer with 6+ years of experience in the event logistics industry, coordinating conferences, conventions, etc. around the USA, with some logistics being international. I am hoping to find a new job doing event planning for the video game industry, so I can leverage my professional experience alongside my passion for video games.
I was at the Game Developers Conference two weeks back, and when told I was based on the East Coast, several people suggested I connect with Epic, to see about helping with Unreal Fest. After checking their careers site (no classification for event planning jobs, so that was a bust) I connected with Epic’s general support email, who directed me to connect here!
If anyone with the team in charge of Unreal Fest is here, please reach out, I would love to apply to join your team.
And if anyone else has a lead on a job that would entail event planning for the video game industry, I would appreciate any leads!
