How far in advance should we book expo staff in NYC?

We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead, and earlier for major Javits Center shows and peak exhibition seasons, when demand in New York is highest. Early booking gives you more choice for specific roles and language skills, and we still accommodate last-minute requests when staff are available.

Can your staff scan attendee badges?

Yes. Our staff can scan badges with your event's lead retrieval app or device, following your process. Just give us system access and a short walkthrough before the show opens.

Can we keep the same team for every show day?

Yes. Subject to availability, we can schedule the same team for your booth across a multi-day show. Share your full schedule when booking so we can prioritize continuity.

Can staff wear our branded uniforms?

Yes. Our staff can wear your branded shirts or event attire for a consistent booth look. Send uniform requirements and sizes in advance, along with when and where staff should pick them up.

Do you provide bilingual booth staff in New York?

Yes. Bilingual booth staff are available on request, subject to language availability. Tell us which languages you need when booking, and we'll match staff to your requirements.

How much does expo staffing in NYC cost?

Pricing depends on staff roles, number of staff, shift length, and extra requirements such as bilingual skills. Rates typically range from $37 to $55 per hour, with a five-hour minimum per staff member, and large or recurring bookings may receive custom pricing.

NYC Expo Staff We Provide

Staffing for New York trade shows and expos — from exhibitor booths and registration desks to VIP lounges, product launches, and sponsor activations.

Our booth hosts greet visitors, answer general questions, and connect qualified attendees with the right people on your team. They manage booth traffic so your space stays inviting and easy to navigate, even on the busiest show days.
Brand Ambassadors

Brand ambassadors draw attendees into your booth, introduce your brand with confidence, and spark conversations on the show floor. They hand out branded materials, run giveaways, and leave visitors with a positive first impression of your company.
Product Demonstrators & Presenters

Our demonstrators and presenters showcase your products with polished, engaging demos built on your briefing and approved talking points. They highlight key features, gather interest, and hand detailed technical questions to your specialists.
Registration & Check-in Staff

Registration staff help organizers welcome attendees, confirm registrations, and hand out badges and event materials. They keep lines moving at peak entry times and give clear directions so guests find their way around the venue.
Booth Bartenders, Baristas & Servers

Bartenders, baristas, and servers turn your booth into a place people want to stop and stay. From morning espresso to happy-hour cocktails and light bites, they handle hospitality so your team can focus on meetings and leads.
Bilingual Staff

Bilingual staff help you reach the international buyers and visitors who travel to New York shows. They assist with booth conversations, guest questions, and directions, with language availability confirmed at booking.

I've been in the industry for 15 years and JV is the event staffing agency in the business. Such professional staff, and the booking process is super easy. I mean, their client list says it all. Stellar in every way.

I called Julia Valler Events last minute on a weekend and actually got someone on the phone… immediately. How often can you actually reach a live person anymore?!!
From the first phone call to the final invoice everyone I spoke to, and worked with, we're incredibly professional and courtesy. The staff was outstanding!

Working with Julia Valler staffing was a FANTASTIC experience from beginning to end! They are quick, responsive thorough and professional! Couldn't have been happier!

I hosted an event with my client at their store. Victoria worked with me to pre-plan and JC helped make the event a success. I was able to mingle with guests and never once had to worry that drinks were served and guests were happy. Highly recommend Julia Valler for any event you are planning!
