San Diego Comic-Con 2026 staffing

“A major show is a short window with a lot riding on it, and your booth staff decides how much of that crowd you actually reach. I have watched two exhibitors with the same booth get completely different results because one team engaged people and the other waited to be approached. The right staff turns foot traffic into conversations and conversations into leads. That is the whole game on a show floor, and it is what we train our talent to do.” Caryn Hanna, Owner of TSM Agency
