How far in advance should I book event staff for my Orlando conference?

We recommend booking your Orlando event staff at least 4-6 weeks in advance for optimal selection and preparation, especially during peak seasons (January-March and September-November). For larger conferences at venues like the Orange County Convention Center or during major Orlando events, 8-12 weeks advance booking is ideal. However, we understand that last-minute needs arise, and we can often accommodate requests with shorter notice.

Our staff undergoes comprehensive training specific to conference and event protocols, and we offer full-service management including on-site supervision for larger events.

How are your Orlando event staff screened and selected?

Our Orlando event staff undergo a rigorous selection process including background checks, interviews, and reference verification. We select candidates based on their experience, professionalism, communication skills, and reliability. For conference staffing specifically, we prioritize individuals with experience in registration management, customer service, and technical aptitude for badge scanning and event technology.

Yes, we maintain a roster of Orlando staff with specific venue experience. Our team includes personnel familiar with the Orange County Convention Center, Caribe Royale, Rosen Shingle Creek, Gaylord Palms Resort, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, and other major Orlando conference venues. This venue-specific knowledge ensures smoother operations and better guest assistance.

Do you provide on-site management for Orlando events?

Yes, for larger events (typically 10+ staff members), we provide dedicated on-site managers at no additional cost. These managers handle staff check-in, break scheduling, position assignments, and serve as your main point of contact throughout the event. For smaller events, we designate a team lead among your assigned staff to coordinate with your event management team.

What types of conferences do you typically staff in Orlando?

Our Orlando team regularly staffs medical and healthcare conferences, technology and IT conventions, trade shows across various industries, corporate meetings, educational conferences, and association events.

They can efficiently manage high-volume check-in periods, troubleshoot registration issues, provide directions and information, and ensure a smooth first impression for your attendees.

Do you provide bilingual staff for Orlando events?

Yes, we maintain a diverse roster of multilingual staff in Orlando, with particular strength in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Haitian Creole speakers, reflecting Central Florida's diverse population and international visitor base. When requesting bilingual staff, please specify the languages needed so we can ensure appropriate personnel assignment.

Can your staff assist with event technology in Orlando conferences?

Yes, our Orlando conference staff receive training on common event technologies including registration systems, badge printers, lead retrieval devices, audience response systems, and basic AV troubleshooting. For events requiring specialized technical knowledge, we can provide staff with specific experience in those systems or arrange pre-event training.

During these times, and during major citywide conventions, we recommend booking staff 8-12 weeks in advance. Hotel rates and transportation costs are higher during these periods, which can affect staff availability. Our local Orlando team can advise on the convention calendar and help you plan accordingly for your event staffing needs.
