The Stress-Free Guide to booking Conference Staff …

January 8, 2020/in Latest Events News/by Phil

When it comes to hosting a business event or conference, you want it to go without a hitch. Having the right conference staff can really help to make your event run smoothly. However, having inexperienced, or too few staff, may leave a lasting negative impression with your clients and associates.

With the average conference in the UK having 258 attendees, there can be a lot to consider. So, take a weight off your mind with this quick, easy and stress-free guide to booking your conference staff;

Know Your Attendees …

To ensure your event is a great success, you need the right number of staff to be confident that all of your guests are well looked after. Before booking conference staff, it is essential to have a confident estimate of the number of attendees. From this, the event staffing agency will be able to recommend how many staff your event may need.

Run Through Your Event Schedule …

While many event teams, such as the conference staff at Event Hosts, will be incredibly versatile and will switch seamlessly from one role to the next, it does help the agency to know what your conference will consist of.

From room monitors to cloakroom assistants, registration and information to people movement, there are lots of roles event staff can help with. You may also require drinks hosts and canape servers. When booking your conference staff, run through the planned schedule of the day. This way, the agency will be able to see where the team can help and whether they need to book specialist staff for particular aspects.

Consider The Theme …

Obviously, the look and feel of your event will instantly set the tone of it. Similarly, you’ll want the event hosts and hostesses to follow suit. At Event Hosts, our conference team will wear professional, corporate business suits as standard. However, if another dress code or, perhaps, company branded attire would be better suited, don’t be afraid to ask.

Think About Your Must-Haves …

Some events will require very specific needs, and event staffing providers will know exactly how to accommodate your requests. So, if you need a bilingual event hostess for your Meet and Greet or perhaps a confident speaker for microphone duties or a knowledgeable expert for literature distribution and lead generation; be as specific as you like.

At Event Hosts, we handpick your conference staff based on your business needs. Many of our staff are educated to degree level or higher and we also have individuals on the team who possess a very unique set of skills which may be just what your event needs.

Let The Provider Do The Rest …

At Event Hosts, we know how stressful planning conferences can be. By booking Event Hosts for your next conference, you can relax in the knowledge that you will have an exceptional team on hand, perfectly tailored to your needs. Our event managers will ensure that every aspect of your conference is covered by fantastic staff. Consequently, this means you can focus on other duties and enjoying the event itself.

If you’re planning a conference in 2020, then get in touch with Event Hosts to find your ideal conference staff.

What type of hospitality staff do I need for my corporate event?

October 16, 2019/in Latest Events News/by Phil

When it comes to events, presentation is everything. The quality of your hospitality staff will directly impact the quality of your event and the reputation of your company. Depending on how well you choose your staff, this can be a very positive or a very negative impact!

Who do I need?

The first step is to work out exactly who you will need to support the event because leaving roles unfilled is a recipe for organisational disaster.

Most events require front of house staff for meet and greet and waiting staff to serve cocktails and canapes, a sit down meal or all of the above. You may also need cloakroom staff, promotional staff for a sales-based event such as a trade show and promotional models for effective lead generation if you’re launching a brand or product range.

If your event is a corporate one, we recommend specialist staff to take care of all the prestigious guests who have made the effort to attend. This might be corporate hostesses in hospitality boxes, VIP lift assistants or models and hostesses for private dinners and parties.

For conference events, you will require specialist staff to cover duties such as passing round the microphone during Q and As, manning the information desk and assisting with literature distribution.

Every event is unique, but this is a good overall picture of what type of staff you may need at yours.

Why is good hospitality so important?

Every point of contact that your guest has with your event is an opportunity to promote your brand and services in the best possible light, which is why it’s essential to pick qualified staff who are also highly presentable and personable.

Our friendly and experienced hospitality teams have worked at some of the highest calibre events including exhibitions, private parties and awards ceremonies held at prestigious locations including Wembley Stadium, Royal Ascot and London Excel. We have also assigned staff to work on smaller, more intimate and boutique events.

Every job is undertaken with a strict commitment to your needs and desires – our team love their work and are fully dedicated to making sure that your event is a success and the guests have a great experience from start to finish. From the moment that your guests arrive at your event, they will enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every member of staff adds something extra special without being overbearing.

Our team at Event Hosts offer a fantastic range of staff to suit your exact requirements, however niche. We pride ourselves on offering the highest calibre of staff at an affordable cost. If you’d like us to take care of your staffing needs and join our ever-growing list of happy customers, contact us today.
