Our roster carries a sub-pool of staff with BS / MS life-sciences backgrounds for biotech work, runs about 55% bilingual EN/ES (including cross-border Tijuana-spillover crews), and includes SDCC-savvy character performers and Hall H–capable hosts. Brand managers, exhibitor program leads, and biotech corporate comms teams are our anchor buyer. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.

FAQ · BOOTH STAFF in SAN DIEGO

Questions San Diego buyers ask about booth staff.

What does a Showcraft booth staffer do at a San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego booth crew so they're not learning your funnel on the show floor.

Are your San Diego booth staff W-2 and fully insured?+

Yes. Every booth staffer working a Showcraft trade show in San Diego 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 San Diego booth staff?+

Either — your staff wear your branded wardrobe (we'll coordinate ship-to or pickup in San Diego) 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.
