Trade Show Convention
Display Staff Scheduling

Determining staff schedules to work your trade show convention display depends on the hours the exhibit hall is open and the number of representatives you can afford to send to the event.

For effective scheduling, you want to ensure you have enough booth coverage to successfully meet and greet prospects, as well as project an image of professionalism and confidence.

As a rule of thumb, four hours is the maximum that someone should be scheduled to work a shift at your booth without taking an extended break. A two-to-three hour shift is ideal.

Your staff should always arrive at your trade show booth 15 minutes before a shift starts to ensure a smooth transition for customer and prospect servicing.

Those working the first shift of the day, must arrive early enough to make sure your booth is completely set up. Convention attendees should not see you still unpacking boxes and not fully prepared during exhibit hall hours.
