Recruiting event staff

Either go to a temp agency or recruit the staff yourself. If you are doing it all on your own – and assuming you don’t have a list of regular staffers from which to draw – then the best approach is generally a “leave no stone unturned” strategy. The bottom line is that you want as many options as possible.

Look to your personal networks
High Schools
Colleges and Universities
Non-profit organizations

The key is to think about what sort of people you want to help you. There are a few qualities that are must-haves for everyone on your team who will be having any significant interaction with attendees:

Reliable
Personable
Knows when to ask for help
