TempGuru's curated Miami network pre-negotiates rates, handles compliance, and delivers crews who've worked your venues before.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is convention staffing different from event staffing?
Conventions require sustained professionalism, extended shifts (often 10–12 hours/day), and detailed protocols. Role specificity is higher: A/V techs, registration desk, booth ambassadors, room monitors. Miami venues like Javits Center operate tight schedules.
2. What's the typical staffing breakdown for a mid-size convention?
For a 2,000-attendee convention: 3–4 registration staff, 2–3 badge scanner, 5+ booth ambassadors, 2–3 A/V techs, 1–2 logistics coordinators, 2–3 wayfinding staff. Scale grows with venue size and concurrent sessions.
3. Are convention staff required to have industry certifications?
It depends. A/V techs often need AV certification or equipment-specific training. Badge scanner/registration staff benefit from retail/customer-service backgrounds but don't require certifications. TempGuru sources staff with relevant experience.
4. How do I handle spread-of-hours pay in Miami conventions?
If a staff member works 10+ hours in one day, Miami law requires an additional hour at minimum wage. Our all-inclusive pricing pre-calculates this, so you don't get surprise wage bills.
5. Can I retain the same staff team across multiple convention days?
Absolutely. Consistency improves attendee experience and internal training efficiency. TempGuru books the same crews across multi-day conventions when possible, and we offer volume discounts for 3+ day bookings.
