Hire booth staff
in Manhattan.
Booth specialists trained to qualify leads, deliver elevator pitches, scan badges, and keep your booth energetic across long convention days.
Manhattan is the busiest single brand market in the country. Three engines in parallel: the Javits Center trade-show calendar (NRF Big Show, NY NOW, ICFF, NYCC), the financial-services corporate axis (FiDi up through Park Avenue), and the Fashion Week / retail flagship corridor (Soho, Fifth Avenue, Hudson Yards, Meatpacking). Outside Manhattan we cover Brooklyn (Williamsburg / DUMBO / Barclays / Industry City), Queens (Citi Field, USTA Billie Jean King for the US Open, LIC waterfront), and the Bronx (Yankee Stadium). NYC roster is built for on-camera stakes — working actors, Equity hosts, runway-experienced models, about 50% bilingual or trilingual talent. All staff are 100% W-2 and NY Department of Labor compliant.

Questions Manhattan buyers ask about booth staff.
What does a Showcraft booth staffer do at a Manhattan trade show?+
Pulls traffic from the aisle, qualifies leads, runs scripted talking points, captures badges, and keeps the booth energy up across long convention days. Our Manhattan booth staff are vetted from a performer-rooted talent pool, which is why they can stay sharp and on-message through hour eight.
Can your Manhattan booth staff handle lead qualification and CRM workflows?+
Yes — we train on Cvent LeadCapture, iCapture, Captello, Salesforce Lightning, and most custom CRM flows. Send us the qualifying questions and disqualifier rules a week out and we'll pre-train your Manhattan booth crew so they're not learning your funnel on the show floor.
Are your Manhattan booth staff W-2 and fully insured?+
Yes. Every booth staffer working a Showcraft trade show in Manhattan is a W-2 employee with payroll, workers' comp, and general liability coverage. COIs are issued naming the venue, show, and exhibitor. In California, the structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
Do you provide wardrobe for Manhattan booth staff?+
Either — your staff wear your branded wardrobe (we'll coordinate ship-to or pickup in Manhattan) or our polished neutrals (black slacks/dress, professional footwear). Most exhibitors send branded polos or tees; we handle the rest. Flag wardrobe needs in your initial brief.
