>> WHAT WE RUN IN AUSTIN

Three ways we run trade show staffing in Austin.

01 // BOOTH CREWS

Booth crews

Hosts, specialists and demo leads cast locally for Austin Convention Center.

02 // REGISTRATION + HOSPITALITY

03 // OUTSIDE THE HALL

Outside the hall

Street teams and ad trucks near the venue and hotels to drive traffic to your booth.

>> HOW WE RUN IT

What good trade show staffing looks like.

Booth staff decide whether your show budget turns into pipeline. We cast hosts who qualify fast, specialists who know the product, and demo leads who can handle a technical question, then train them before the show and log every lead in Spark so nothing is lost on paper.

>> LOCAL KNOW-HOW

What's different about trade show staffing in Austin.

Austin is where brands test what's next. SXSW in March and ACL in the fall turn the whole city into an activation zone, and the rest of the year runs on UT game days, tech launches and a very thirsty downtown.

Venue labor rules decide who can handle freight and electrical, so brand staff roles are scoped to hosting, demos and lead capture. SXSW and ACL sell out hotels and flood the streets, so local crews and early booking are the difference. Summer heat is real. Texas alcohol sampling needs TABC-aware staff.
