Convention staffing in Houston covers the people who make a multi-day event feel organized — registration and badge teams, information desk staff, session room monitors, greeters, and reception crews — at association meetings, medical congresses, energy-industry conferences, and fan conventions across the city. Exhibiting rather than hosting? Take a look at our trade show staffing in Houston.
Julia Valler Event Staffing builds each team around your agenda, attendance, and registration platform, briefs staff on the venue layout and session schedule, and keeps an on-call coordinator in contact with your planners from setup to the final session.
Founded in New York City in 2013, Julia Valler Event Staffing now provides convention staffing in Houston and nine other major U.S. markets. Planners hosting association meetings, medical congresses, and energy-industry conferences at George R. Brown Convention Center, NRG Center, and the city's major hotels count on us for registration teams, wayfinding staff, greeters, session support, and reception crews.
We place more than 15,000 event staff members each year and keep a 98% client retention rate, thanks to careful casting, thorough event briefings, and a coordinator who stays reachable for every shift.
Our experience includes supporting events at some of the country’s leading convention and exhibition venues, including Las Vegas Convention Center, McCormick Place, The Venetian Expo, Javits Center, and Orange County Convention Center, among others.

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!
