I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!

Frequently Asked Questions About Trade Show Staffing in Indianapolis
The Indiana Convention Center anchors downtown Indianapolis and connects directly to Lucas Oil Stadium by skywalk. Together they form one of the largest connected event campuses in the country.
The center is about 14 miles from Indianapolis International Airport (IND), roughly a 20- to 25-minute drive via I-70. Traffic is generally light outside rush hour.
The JW Marriott, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, and The Westin Indianapolis all connect to the center through the downtown skywalk system. That network links thousands of hotel rooms to the halls.
Indianapolis observes Eastern Time (ET) and follows daylight saving time. Set call times and briefings against ET so your booth team stays aligned through the show day.
Indianapolis hosts Gen Con, FDIC International, and the National FFA Convention & Expo. The convention center runs major events from spring through fall.
Rideshare and IndyGo buses link the airport to downtown, with no direct airport rail. Once downtown, the enclosed skywalk system connects the center to hotels without going outside.
Hourly rates for Indianapolis trade show staff typically run $50 to $85 per hour, depending on role, experience, and seasonal demand. Local sourcing avoids the airfare, hotel, and per diem of flying a team in.
Contact TSM Agency with your Indianapolis show dates, venue, and booth size. A dedicated account manager selects staff from the local roster and briefs them on your brand before the show opens.
