Collect-A-Con Dallas staffing

Collect-A-Con Dallas is a two-day trading card and pop-culture convention that fills the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center's Hall B in Dallas (Oct 24–25, 2026) with a high-energy fan crowd. The floor runs on buying, trading, and discovery: collectors and enthusiasts move table to table chasing cards, collectibles, and exclusives, while vendors, breakers, and grading companies compete for their attention. A booth lives or dies on whether someone keeps traffic flowing, the table organized, and interested buyers captured. Collect-A-Con Dallas staffing is exactly that — high-energy, traffic-pulling activation talent — and TSM Agency, a woman-owned event staffing and talent agency founded in 2005, fields it locally in Dallas.

Why it matters

What Collect-A-Con Dallas asks of an exhibitor

Collect-A-Con Dallas packs Hall B with 900+ vendor tables and a constant stream of collectors, traders, and fans moving through fast. The people on the floor are consumers chasing the next card, collectible, or exclusive — they respond to energy, organization, and a booth that feels like a destination, not a wall. When your team is deep in a sale or a trade, every fan drifting past an unattended table is a customer and a follow-up you paid for the table to meet. The four roles below each solve a different part of staffing a high-traffic, fast-moving consumer floor.

Front of the booth

Trade show models for Collect-A-Con Dallas

Collect-A-Con Dallas trade show models give your table a high-energy, organized front so no collector or trader passes an unattended booth across the two-day convention. Our trade show models work the front of the booth in Hall B — greeting the fan crowd, opening conversations, drawing traffic in, and qualifying serious buyers before passing them to your team. They're briefed on your product, your inventory, and the kind of collector you most want to reach, and because they're sourced in Dallas you skip the airfare, hotels, and per-diems a traveling crew would add. The outcome: a booth that feels staffed and inviting on a chaotic floor, engaging the collectors and fans a Collect-A-Con vendor needs. See our trade show models service.

Traffic & attention

Promotional models for Collect-A-Con Dallas

Collect-A-Con Dallas promotional models pull the fan crowd toward your booth and turn a busy aisle into a stop people line up for — the way you stand out when hundreds of tables are competing for the same traffic. Our promotional models gather collectors and traders to your space, run giveaways and product reveals, hand out literature and promo items, and hold the energy through long show days so the table never looks slow. Each is briefed on your product and the one action you want every fan to take — scan in, follow, take a card. The outcome: higher booth traffic from the surrounding aisles, captured as interested-buyer leads instead of moving to the next table. See our promotional models service.

Brand & message

Brand ambassadors for Collect-A-Con Dallas

Collect-A-Con Dallas brand ambassadors represent your brand to the collectors, traders, and pop-culture fans who decide on the spot whether to buy, trade, or follow. Our brand ambassadors are trained on your products, your positioning, and your talking points so they represent the brand consistently and with energy — telling your story, guiding fans through a product or service, and keeping the message on point across both days. For a launch, a grading service, or a hobby brand, they carry your story from the booth to the activations and gathering spots around the show. The outcome they serve: recall and loyalty with the exact fan audience Collect-A-Con assembles. See our brand ambassadors service.

The operational team

Full booth staffing for Collect-A-Con Dallas

As your Collect-A-Con Dallas event staffing partner, TSM Agency fields the full booth team for a fast-moving collectibles floor: product demonstrators and activation staff who keep giveaways and reveals running; hosts and crowd gatherers who pull the fan crowd in and keep the table organized; lead-capture specialists trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik, and Bartizan so every interested buyer is scanned and tagged correctly in real time; presenters for in-booth demos; bilingual talent for Dallas's diverse audience; and a team lead to run flow, breaks, and coverage across both days. One account executive scopes the mix to your table size and goals and manages the team on-site — talent works through show close each day, never an early walk-off. The outcome: a booth that's energetically staffed open-to-close and a clean, complete list of interested buyers. See our event staffing service.
