LONDON / EXHIBITION STAFFING
Exhibition staff for
Olympia London.
Exhibition hosts, brand ambassadors and visitor-facing staff for your Olympia London brief. Tell us your hall, your audience and what you want each conversation to achieve.
YOUR EVENT. YOUR OBJECTIVES.
A confident welcome. A stand that works.
For a trade exhibition, plan who welcomes visitors, qualifies interest and hands over to your sales specialists. For a consumer show, consider product demonstrations, sampling and sales support, with clear instructions for product questions and busy periods.
Registration & visitor support
Discuss check-in, directions, visitor questions and queue guidance. Share the event plan and agree the responsibilities for each position.
Make the venue part of the brief.
Olympia’s event spaces include the Grand Hall, National Hall and West Hall. Put the exact hall and level in your brief, alongside your stand number. Your organiser’s arrival instructions should be the team’s shared reference.
- Hall, level and stand number
- Exhibitor badges and the correct staff entrance
- Product briefing, dress code and demonstration requirements
- Setup, opening, closing and break-cover times
Olympia venue and exhibitor information ↗
Check current access and operational arrangements with your event organiser. Staffing is subject to availability and an agreed brief.
Before you book.
Can staff help with product demonstrations?
Include the product, any training required and what staff may demonstrate or explain. Specialist activities and any sampling requirements need to be agreed before the booking.
What should I send for a quotation?
Event name, venue, dates, working hours, number of staff and what they will do. Add any language, uniform or training requirements. If you are unsure about team size, describe the positions that need covering and we can discuss the detail.
Can I request a quote without a call?
Yes. Choose the email quotation option and share your brief. For an event less than seven days away, use an enquiry so availability can be checked directly.

EXHIBITING FROM OVERSEAS?
Your UK team.
A clear plan.
Keep your stand brief focused on the visitor.
Start with what your own team needs to concentrate on. A welcome team can identify visitors and direct them to the right colleague while your specialists handle detailed conversations. If you need sales or lead generation, specify the qualifying questions and how enquiries should be handed over.
Provide the event name, hall, level and stand number, together with current staff access instructions from your organiser. Include the arrival contact, briefing location and dress code. Confirm where materials can be stored and who is responsible for stock or equipment.
For demonstrations, plan how the audience will gather and how staff should manage waiting visitors. For sampling, provide handling instructions and a replenishment plan. The right staffing brief depends on your activity, not simply the size of the venue.
Questions to settle before booking.
How many people? Start with the positions you need covered at the same time, then consider busy periods and breaks. Plan your headcount ↗
What hours should I book? Include required briefing and setup, not only public opening times. If cover exceeds the 13-hour shift limit, split it between shifts. Prepare for event day ↗
