Oct 2023 - Oct 2023

TEST Squadron

Event Staff / Community Operations Support

Supported TEST Squadron's CitizenCon 2953 presence in Los Angeles as event staff, contributing to booth execution, pre-show design planning, urgent local sourcing, volunteer coordination, and community meetup support.

Worth noting

A few things I would call out

  1. Worked with three core staff and 15+ volunteers to support booth coverage, attendee interaction, and on-site operations.
  2. Coordinated local purchasing and securing of last-minute booth items to keep setup and event delivery on track.
  3. Helped organize meet and greets, community meetups, and pre-show planning calls to shape the booth build plan.

01 // What was getting in the way

CitizenCon booth delivery required dependable staffing, quick local problem-solving, and enough structure to keep the community-facing experience welcoming under event pressure.

02 // What I did

I supported the event team across the practical work that keeps a booth running.

The role included:

  • joining pre-show planning calls and booth design discussions
  • sourcing last-minute local items for setup and delivery needs
  • supporting day-of booth coverage with staff and volunteers
  • helping execute meetups and meet-and-greet moments around the event

03 // What changed

Contributed to a steadier booth operation during a high-pressure convention window by closing last-minute logistics gaps and supporting volunteer coverage execution. The result was a more dependable community-facing presence and a stronger operations baseline carried into later CitizenCon and TEST event work.
