Event staffing in Washington DC. Build a local team for Walter E. Washington Convention Center and surrounding venues.

TSM recruits local Washington DC 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 Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Ronald Reagan Building, Marriott Marquis Washington DC, hotel ballrooms and government-adjacent meeting spaces. Include the 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.

Request the roles your program needs: greeters, lead-capture staff, registration support, demonstrators, meeting hosts or brand ambassadors. Separate exhibit, association-session and sponsor-reception duties by location and hours. Give each role its approved interactions and handoff contact so your account executive can scope the team. TSM's published staffing scope excludes catering and bartending.

Ask your account executive to check the proposed person's relevant building experience before selection. Local residence alone does not establish that experience. Provide the current show manual, floor plan, reporting point and staff entrance. Confirm badge collection, arrival time and any room-specific instructions instead of assuming every selected person already knows your setup.

Specify titles, attire, badge rules, restricted areas and the approved way to address your audience. Name the person who answers policy, procurement or other sensitive questions. Front-line staff should follow your approved messages and refer questions outside their assignment to that contact. Confirm any access requirements before selection; do not assume security clearance or specialist policy qualifications.

Yes. Request a team lead to coordinate attendance, breaks and communication across the booked team. Agree on the lead's responsibilities, schedule and reporting contact while scoping exhibit, meeting or reception duties. Confirm availability and inclusion in the quote. Do not assume an on-site manager is automatically included with every staffing request.

Provide approved brand or association messages, qualifying questions, required lead fields and handoff instructions. Include sponsor, meeting and presentation duties so staff know which message applies to each assignment. Confirm product and system preparation time. Name the contact who approves changes and define how updates reach the team; do not expect staff to improvise your mission or product claims.

Ask your account executive to identify any travel-related charges in the quote for each selected person's assignment. Give the actual reporting location and schedule, including movement between convention, hotel and reception duties. Local recruitment can reduce the need to fly a crew in, but it does not mean every travel expense is included in the hourly rate. Confirm the booked scope before selection.

Contact your account executive promptly to review available options. Agree on attendance reporting, escalation contacts and replacement procedures before the event. Provide the affected shift, duties and access requirements so any proposed option can be assessed against the assignment. Availability must be confirmed; an immediate replacement or reserve team is not guaranteed by submitting a staffing request.

Send the event, dates, venue, daily hours, headcount and roles. Include the building, booth or room, access instructions, languages, lead-retrieval platform and demonstration requirements. Separate concurrent exhibit, meeting and reception duties, and include preparation and transfer time. Give your booking deadline so your account executive can review availability and quote the actual assignment.

Name an operational contact and a sales or subject-matter contact in the brief. Tell staff who can approve schedule or duty changes, receive leads and answer policy, procurement or product questions. Define the communication route before doors open and share it with any requested team lead. Refer questions outside the approved assignment rather than asking staff to improvise an answer.
