Hire convention staff
in Queens.
Full convention staffing for major venues nationwide — Javits Center, McCormick Place, George R. Brown, LA & Anaheim Convention Centers, Moscone, and more. Registration, booth, hospitality, and on-site coordination.
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.
Javits Center anchors the market — NRF Big Show, NY NOW, ICFF, NYCC, NY Auto Show, National Stationery Show — plus Brooklyn's Industry City and the Brooklyn Navy Yard for warehouse-format consumer programs.
Showcraft serves Queens and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Queens is the most demographically diverse county in the US — and operationally one of NYC's most active multilingual brand markets. Citi Field hosts the Mets and a heavy concert calendar, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts the US Open every August / September, Long Island City drives Manhattan-adjacent waterfront brand activations, and Flushing's Asian food and retail corridor anchors community-event work. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for US Open sponsor activations, hospitality crews for Citi Field Mets games, demo teams for LIC waterfront launches, and bilingual EN/ES/Mandarin/Korean/Bengali/Tagalog crews for Queens community-event work. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Queens buyers ask about convention staff.
Does Showcraft staff the major convention centers in Queens?+
Yes — we staff conventions at the primary venues throughout New York City, with captains who know each venue's load-in flow, badge protocols, union jurisdictions, and freight-elevator timing. Send us the convention, hall, and booth or session room and we'll match staff who have worked the venue before.
What kind of convention staff can you provide in Queens?+
Registration, badge-in, booth staff, hospitality leads, session monitors, VIP and speaker handlers, ushers, and on-floor coordinators. We can staff a single booth or a full convention takeover across New York City. Every deployment of six or more includes a Showcraft captain on-site.
How early do you need to know about a Queens convention booking?+
For large Queens conventions (50+ staff across multiple days), 4-6 weeks is ideal. Standard fill is 2-3 weeks. The major shows in New York City pull from the regional labor pool, so early lock-in means better talent selection. Rush fills are possible with a surcharge.
Are your Queens convention staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every convention staffer Showcraft sends in Queens is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and auto coverage. COIs are issued naming the venue, show, and exhibitor as additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
