Event staffing in Austin. Build a local team for Austin Convention Center and surrounding venues.

TSM recruits local Austin talent when available. Your account executive checks availability for your dates and roles, and you review profiles before selection. Confirm any travel-related charges and venue-specific experience in the booking.

Request staff for Palmer Events Center, Fair Market, JW Marriott Austin, downtown hotels and festival-adjacent venues, including locations in the convention-center district. The Austin Convention Center building is currently closed for construction; the district is not the same as the building. Include your actual building, booth, meeting room or activation location so we can assess the assignment and available talent.

Yes. Send the event, venue, daily staffing hours and roles for your booth. TSM can scope individual roles or a multi-role team with a requested team lead.

Yes. Include your lead-retrieval system, required fields, qualification rules and demonstration sequence in the brief. Confirm the selected staff's relevant experience and arrange product and system preparation before the assignment.

TSM's published staffing range is typically $50-$85 per hour, depending on role and requirements, with a four-hour minimum. Send your dates, daily hours, headcount, language needs and venue for a booking-specific quote.

No. TSM focuses on trade show and brand-marketing staffing, including booth engagement, demonstrations, lead capture and brand representation. We do not supply bartenders, wait staff, banquet servers or coat-check staff.

It is guest-facing event-marketing work scoped around your Austin assignment. Staff can greet visitors, qualify interest, support registration, demonstrate products and hand prospects to your team. A conference booth, hotel meeting and festival-adjacent activation need different instructions. Define those duties and reporting locations before booking; this is not a catering or complete event-production contract.

Start with each visitor interaction you need covered. Request booth models for greetings and qualification, promotional models for sampling and demonstrations, or brand ambassadors for campaign representation. Registration, reception and presentation duties should be stated separately. For a larger program, request a team lead and confirm the coordination duties rather than assuming supervision is included.

You can request guest-facing teams for trade shows, conferences, hotel programs and brand activations, including festival-adjacent assignments. Name the actual venue and whether staff work a booth, meeting room, reception or outdoor activation. The Austin Convention Center building is closed for construction, so a reference to its district does not confirm an event inside that building. Talent availability and role fit require review for your specific program.

Review profiles against the work at each location. Specify your lead-retrieval platform, languages, demonstration duties and reporting requirements, then confirm relevant experience during selection. A daytime conference booth and an evening brand reception may need different communication styles and preparation. Include that preparation in the schedule; local residence alone does not establish experience at your venue.

Provide the audience, approved script, qualification fields, product boundaries, attire, badge requirements and handoff contact. Explain whether each shift is at a booth, hotel room, sponsor lounge or festival-adjacent activation. Share the reporting point and current schedule for each location. Confirm preparation responsibilities and which questions must go to your own specialists before staff arrive.

TSM publishes a four-hour minimum. For a short reception or breakfast assignment, share the actual arrival, briefing and finish times so your account executive can confirm the billable schedule. If staff move between a booth and an off-site location, list transfer time and coverage needs separately. Confirm how the minimum applies to the requested booking rather than budgeting only the guest-facing window.

Confirm the reporting contact and staffing-change process before the event. If a confirmed person cannot attend or finish, contact your account executive promptly to review available options. Identify which booth, reception or off-site position needs coverage and who receives updates. Replacement timing depends on suitable talent availability; do not assume immediate cover across separated venues.

Yes, you can submit evening and weekend staffing requests. Include the actual dates, arrival and end times, locations and duties so suitable talent availability can be reviewed. List daytime booth work and after-hours receptions separately, including transfer time, breaks and continuous-coverage needs. Confirm the selected team and paid schedule before relying on coverage.

Yes. Specify the languages, proficiency and duties needed at your conference, hotel program or activation. Confirm suitable profiles and availability for the dates and locations, and provide approved messages for each assignment. Language ability must be reviewed separately; do not assume conversational fluency means qualified interpretation or technical product expertise.

Agree on the lead information, guest-service notes and shift report your team needs before the event. For a program spanning several locations, identify the reporting contact and handoff owner for each shift. Specify how staff should record questions, visitor feedback and unresolved issues. Confirm the format and delivery expectations rather than assuming an analytics platform or sales dashboard is included.

Include your event dates and decision deadline when you contact TSM. Share the actual venues, shifts, duties and preparation needs, including any booth and off-site assignments. Your account executive needs that scope to review suitable availability. Confirm the booking before relying on staffing coverage; there is no universal festival-period lead time or reservation guarantee from an early inquiry.
