Introduction

When planning for a trade show, you’ll need to hire various individuals to help set up your captivating exhibit. Experts such as general contractors, electricians, and AV specialists help you create a booth that looks professional and remains stable throughout the entire event. Below, we’ve explained the top types of labor you might need for your next trade show to help you prepare.

General Contractors

Some of the most important experts you’ll hire are general contractors, as these individuals install and dismantle your exhibit. They can help you with everything from setting up your booth to arranging furniture and building structures. They can also help with any repairs or adjustments you require during the show.

As you search for an install and dismantle company, look for a team or company with experience working at trade shows. These individuals will have the knowledge and expertise to set up your exhibit safely and effectively.


Electricians

Electricians are responsible for setting up and powering your exhibit’s electrical components. Examples include lighting, power outlets, and other electrical equipment needed for your display. Electricians can also help with wiring and cable management or provide temporary electrical services for your exhibit. 

AV Specialists

In order to utilize the latest technology to attract visitors, you’ll need to hire audiovisual (AV) specialists. They can help you choose the right equipment and will set up and operate your audiovisual displays. AV specialists will also troubleshoot any technical issues during the show.

Moreover, AV specialists can help enhance your exhibit with engaging visuals and interactive technology. This includes touch screens, virtual reality experiences, and live streaming capabilities. Incorporating these elements into your display can create a memorable and impactful experience for visitors.

Hiring the Right Team

Knowing which laborers you might need for your next trade show is as important as finding quality workers. To hire the best team, you should:

  • Know which jobs you need to hire for
  • Research and vet potential labor companies 
  • Ask your business network for labor references

Take the time to plan and consider all the different types of labor needed to set up your exhibit. Once you find a team, communicate all your expectations for the booth with them and ask about pricing.
