Why Our Clients & Models Trust Us
Patty Collins

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.
Zoe Clegg

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.
Evelyn Vang

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!

Presenters and Hosts in New York City — Frequently Asked Questions
“Conference presenters” ($3.50 CPC) — TSM Agency’s NYC conference presenters manage live Javits Center programs: delivering scripted product content, managing segment transitions and timing, facilitating Q&A, recovering from technical delays, and maintaining professional presentation quality in front of NRF retail industry leaders, Toy Fair global toy buyers, and Legalweek legal technology decision-makers.
NRF Retail’s Big Show product launch and keynote facilitation (Javits), Toy Fair New York brand stage programs, Legalweek technology theater hosting, pharmaceutical speaker programs at Midtown hotel venues, and corporate award ceremonies at NYC hotel and event properties.
$3.50 CPC means NYC event producers pay more for “conference presenters” than any other event staffing search term in this category. The reason: NRF and Toy Fair stages perform in front of industry media and buyers who evaluate your brand simultaneously. A rehearsed, professional presenter delivers better audience retention, media coverage quality, and post-event brand recall than an unprepared internal employee presenting from a Javits stage for the first time.
Yes. Spanish, Mandarin, French, and Portuguese-capable presenters available. NRF’s global retail buyer population and Toy Fair’s international exhibitor base benefit from presenters who can deliver programs in non-English primary languages.

Conference presenters in new york city manage live program flow: transitions, facilitation, Q&A management, timing, and recovery from technical issues during Javits Center convention programs. Spokesmodels deliver brand-specific scripted content — product messages, demonstration narratives, brand storytelling.

TSM Agency recommends 4–8 weeks for Javits Center convention programs; 6–10 weeks for major new york city shows like NRF Retail’s Big Show. Pre-event rehearsal adds lead time compared to general staffing — earlier booking gives TSM more time to find the right presenter profile for your specific new york city program and rehearse your script.
New York City conference presenter and event host rates through TSM Agency typically range from $50–$150/hour depending on event format and rehearsal requirements. ‘Conference presenters’ at $3.50 CPC nationally reflects the premium buyers pay for high-stakes Javits Center stage performance.
