Trade show models, promotional models, brand ambassadors, and lead-retrieval talent for Cater+Event (formerly Catersource + The Special Event) 2027 in New Orleans. Plan the roles, product briefing and coverage your booking requires.
Cater+Event combines catering operations with event production, rentals, décor, venues, and planning services. Staff classify caterer, planner, producer, rental company, venue, hotel, or supplier and capture annual event volume, guest-count range, service style, equipment or décor category, geography, and upcoming bid. Client-approved culinary demonstrations need defined portion, allergen, sanitation and replenishment procedures, authorized handlers and venue approval; design displays use scheduled walkthroughs for planners with active programs. The resulting handoff connects each visitor to a catering, rental, production, or venue specialist instead of treating the floor like a beverage-manufacturing show.
Cater+Event (formerly Catersource + The Special Event) 2027 staffing should start with the specifics of the event record, not a generic trade show staffing checklist. Event type: Catering & special-events industry conference and trade show. Primary industry: Catering & event production. Related categories: Catering & foodservice, event planning & production, rentals & décor, hospitality suppliers. Audience to qualify: Caterers and catering-company owners, event planners and producers, wedding and corporate-event professionals, banquet and venue operators, rental, floral, and décor pros, and the suppliers who serve them - the catering and event buyers that exhibitors of food, equipment, rentals, and event services come to reach. Local planning context: New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center | New Orleans, LA | 900 Convention Center Blvd. Event positioning: For 2027 the long-running Catersource + The Special Event has been rebranded Cater+Event and moves to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, uniting caterers, event planners, and suppliers in one show. Booth responsibilities: Welcome and qualify catering and event-pro traffic, support approved tasting and product demonstrations at the booth under client handling instructions and venue requirements, present approved products and literature, scan and tag leads on the show's lead-retrieval system, and represent the food, rental, or event-services brand to caterers, planners, and venue operators at Cater+Event. That mix determines whether TSM recommends trade show models, promotional models, brand ambassadors, lead capture staff, demo support, bilingual talent, a team lead, or a lighter front-of-booth crew.

Cater+Event trade show models keep your booth warm and moving with an agreed reception plan for caterers, planners and venue operators. Our trade show models work the front of the booth on the New Orleans show floor - greeting attendees, supporting approved samples under client handling instructions, keeping demo lines moving, and qualifying who's a serious account versus a browser before passing real prospects to your team. They're briefed on your product, its story, and your ideal buyer, and you can request New Orleans staff with availability, venue experience and travel or parking charges confirmed. Set a clear first contact and handoff process so catering and event professionals can reach the right product or sales representative. See our show-floor support team.
Cater+Event promotional models introduce your booth and support an organized demo station - the way you stand out when the whole floor is courting the same caterers and planners. Our promotional models gather the right catering and event buyers to your booth, support approved sample rounds under client handling instructions and venue requirements, host approved giveaways, hand out literature and sell sheets, and maintain the agreed booth presentation during booked shifts. Each is briefed on your product and the one action you want every visitor to take - book a follow-up, take a sell sheet, scan in. Track permitted contact details, product interest and agreed next steps against your booth goals. See our traffic-driving event talent.
Cater+Event brand ambassadors embody your food, rental, or event-services brand to the caterers, planners, producers, and venue operators who decide what goes into their events. Our brand ambassadors are trained on your story, product, and talking points so they represent the brand consistently - using your approved message, guiding buyers through a tasting or demo, and keeping the message on point across booked assignments. For a launch or a category push, scope any networking or awards assignment separately with its venue, credentials, purpose and paid schedule confirmed. The outcome they serve: recall and warmth with the catering and event professionals who can place an order. See our on-message event staff.
