APEC — Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition staffing

APEC staffing puts trained booth models, product demonstrators, brand ambassadors and lead-retrieval specialists on your stand at APEC — the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition — held March 22–26, 2026 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. In its 41st edition, APEC draws roughly 6,000 power electronics engineers, analog and power IC designers, magnetics and passive component engineers, OEM hardware buyers and academics to the largest power electronics exposition in North America. Booth talent greets that technical crowd, qualifies interest, supports component and system demos, and captures leads so your own engineers stay on the conversations that drive a design win. An APEC staffing agency recruits, vets, briefs and manages that talent locally, so exhibitors get a credible, on-message presence without flying in or housing a crew. TSM Agency is a woman-owned talent agency founded in 2005 that staffs San Antonio shows with local talent trained on your products before the doors open, every booking run through one dedicated account executive.

Why it matters

What APEC — Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition asks of an exhibitor

APEC fills the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center with 300+ power electronics suppliers — semiconductor companies, passive component manufacturers, magnetics suppliers, simulation software vendors, thermal management specialists — and the engineers who decide which parts get designed in. This is a technical audience: design engineers, application engineers, R&D researchers and the power systems buyers at OEMs who read a datasheet before they shake your hand. They attend 750+ peer-reviewed technical sessions during the week, then walk the exposition looking for products that solve problems they already understand. A booth that can't match their pace or isn't staffed when they stop loses the design conversation entirely. The four roles below each solve a different piece of that problem.

Front of the booth

Trade show models for APEC — Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition

APEC's exposition floor runs alongside five days of technical sessions, and the engineers visiting your booth have already spent hours in peer-reviewed presentations. Our APEC trade show models work the front of your stand — drawing and qualifying the power IC designers, application engineers and OEM hardware buyers moving through the exposition, opening conversations and keeping the booth covered from open to close. Because they're sourced locally in San Antonio, you avoid the airfare, hotels and per-diems an out-of-town crew adds during convention week, and you get talent already familiar with the Henry B. Gonzalez layout. The outcome: more of that 6,000-engineer audience stops at your stand, and your application engineers spend their time on the buyers who are ready to talk specs.

Traffic & attention

Promotional models for APEC — Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition

Standing out among 300+ component and system suppliers means giving busy power electronics engineers a reason to step in. Our APEC promotional models pull attention to your space and turn passers-by — the IC designers, application engineers and procurement buyers scouting solutions — into captured leads: running demo stations, hosting giveaways, distributing datasheets and samples, and sustaining energy across long technical show days. Each is briefed on your product category and the single action you want every visitor to take, whether that's a live demo, a sample request or a scanned badge. The outcome: higher booth traffic from the surrounding aisles, and more of it qualified and tagged rather than walking on to the next supplier.

Brand & message

Brand ambassadors for APEC — Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition

At APEC your brand is judged by an audience of engineers who can read a schematic — they respond to accuracy and substance, not marketing language. Our APEC brand ambassadors are trained on your products, positioning and talking points so they represent you credibly to that technical crowd: embodying the brand on the exposition floor, guiding power electronics engineers and OEM buyers through component or system demos, and driving traffic from high-flow zones back to your stand. For launches in power semiconductors, magnetics, passives or simulation tools, they carry the story in language a design engineer respects, never overstating what the component does. The goal they serve: brand recall and on-message coverage with the exact engineers and buyers who choose what gets designed in.

The operational team

Full booth staffing for APEC — Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition

Beyond the front of the booth, an APEC stand runs on the roles that make it work. As your APEC event staffing partner we field the whole team: product demonstrators who deliver accurate, repeatable demos of your components, ICs, systems or software; lead-retrieval specialists trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik and Bartizan so every prospect is scanned and qualified correctly in real time; presenters and emcees for in-booth technical presentations; bilingual talent for APEC's international engineering audience; and a team lead to run check-in, breaks and performance across all five days. One dedicated account executive scopes the mix to your booth size and goals — we recommend, you choose — and manages the team on-site. The outcome: a booth staffed open-to-close, and a clean, complete lead list when the show ends.
