Z3: Student Games Expo

Z3 was the first big event I lead for VGDC. It is a huge showcase for students to display games they worked on all year long to peers, faculty, and alumni at UCI. There is also a raffle for students to win prizes from Razer by playtesting games and a section of booths for UCI clubs to sell merch, called Artist Alley!
What I Did:
Lead logistics with 10 VGDC Officers to present 30 UCI student’s games for 300+ faculty, students, and alumni.
Managed playtests booths for participating teams, Razer prizes, club merch booths, budget lists, weekly meetings, event equipment, marketing, and forms.
Displayed two of my own games I worked on during the 2024 - 2025 school year, Tale of the Bubblemancer and Seaside Showdown.
Invited UC San Diego's Video Game Development Club to present their student's games and bring them to UCI for the first time.
