IDDBA Show staffing

The IDDBA Show is the dairy, deli, and bakery industry's flagship trade event, run by the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association and moving to the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta for its next edition (Jun 6–8, 2027). It draws supermarket and grocery executives, category and department managers, buyers, merchandisers, distributors, and brokers from the top retail and wholesale chains who come to taste cheese, prepared foods, and bakery products and decide what earns a case or a shelf. On a product-rich sampling floor like this, a booth lives or dies on whether someone keeps the demo station full, the line moving, and every buyer captured. IDDBA Show staffing is exactly that — warm, food-safe demo and host talent — and TSM Agency, a woman-owned event staffing and talent agency founded in 2005, fields it locally in Atlanta.

Why it matters

What IDDBA Show asks of an exhibitor

The IDDBA Show packs the exhibit halls with dairy, deli, cheese, and bakery suppliers running live sampling, slicing, and demo stations across three intensive days. The people moving through those aisles are buyers, category managers, and merchandisers from the largest grocery and wholesale chains, plus distributors and brokers with limited time and hundreds of booths to taste. A great product still loses if the sample tray empties, the line stalls, or the buyer walks off without being scanned. When your own sales leads are deep with one key account, every other buyer drifting past with an empty hand is a placement you paid the booth fee to win. The four roles below each solve a different part of running a high-touch sampling booth at scale.

Trade show models for IDDBA Show

IDDBA Show trade show models keep your sampling booth warm and moving so no supermarket buyer, category manager, or distributor drifts past an unattended demo station. Our trade show models work the front of the booth on the Georgia World Congress Center floor — greeting buyers, handing over samples, keeping the tasting line flowing, and qualifying who's a serious chain account versus a browser before passing the real prospects to your team. They're briefed on your product, its category, and your ideal buyer, and because they're sourced in Atlanta you skip the airfare, hotels, and per-diems IDDBA week piles on. The outcome: a booth that feels hosted rather than chaotic, and more of those buyers actually tasting your line. See our trade show models service.

Traffic & attention

Promotional models for IDDBA Show

IDDBA Show promotional models pull buyers in and turn a busy aisle into a full sampling station — the way you stand out when the whole hall is offering a taste. Our promotional models gather the right supermarket buyers, merchandisers, and distributors to your booth, run sample rounds and giveaways, hand out literature and category sheets, and hold the energy through long show days so the demo table never looks empty. Each is briefed on your product and the one action you want every buyer to take — book a follow-up, take a sell sheet, scan in. The outcome: higher booth traffic pulled from the surrounding aisles, captured as qualified dairy, deli, and bakery leads instead of walking to the next exhibitor. See our promotional models service.

Brand & message

Brand ambassadors for IDDBA Show

IDDBA Show brand ambassadors embody your dairy, deli, or bakery brand to the buyers, category managers, and brokers who decide whether it earns a case or a shelf. Our brand ambassadors are trained on your product story, ingredients, and talking points so they represent the brand consistently — telling the maker's story the way a founder would, guiding buyers through a tasting, and keeping the message on point across all three days. For a launch or a category push, they carry the brand from the booth to the demo stage and the networking events around the show. The outcome they serve: recall and warmth with the supermarket and wholesale buyers who can place an order. See our brand ambassadors service.

The operational team

Full booth staffing for IDDBA Show

As your IDDBA Show event staffing partner, TSM Agency fields the full booth team for a sampling floor: product demonstrators who run in-booth slicing, sampling, and demos cleanly and food-safely; hosts and crowd gatherers who keep tasting lines moving; lead-retrieval specialists trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik, and Bartizan so every buyer, distributor, and broker is scanned and tagged correctly in real time; presenters for in-booth pitches; bilingual talent for the international buyers IDDBA draws from 40-plus countries; and a team lead to run sampling flow, breaks, and restocking across all three days. One account executive scopes the mix to your booth 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 professionally hosted open-to-close and a clean, complete buyer lead list. See our event staffing service.
