Hostesses for trade fairs and congresses in New York
In New York the venue is vast and the city eats the calendar. The stand runs by day, and the conversation that closes business usually happens over a dinner or a presentation in Manhattan. Give us both fronts and we will build the proposal.
Wira team at ICE Barcelona: an example of stand support.
A large venue and a city that does not stop
The Javits Center states more than 500,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, 3.4 million total square feet across its two buildings and 122 flexible meeting rooms. It stands at 655 W. 34th Street, New York, NY 10001, on the west side of Manhattan.
At that scale visitors do not walk the whole floor. They arrive, run their route and leave. If your stand is not on it, they have to be brought: an appointment, a reminder and someone who receives them by name when they show up. Tell us how many appointments you expect and how you want them handled.
English is the working language and Spanish genuinely earns its place in New York, both with the local audience and with buyers from Latin America. Tell us the language per position and it goes into the proposal.

Before you brief us.
Where are New York trade fairs held?
Most of them at the Javits Center, 655 W. 34th Street, NY 10001. It states more than 500,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space and 122 meeting rooms.
Is Spanish-speaking staff worth it?
In New York it usually pays off. English is the base, and Spanish opens conversations with the local audience and with buyers from Latin America.
Can you cover the stand and a dinner in Manhattan?
Yes, and it is the usual case. They are two different positions, so send us both locations and the programme for each and we will split the team.
How are stand appointments handled?
With a reception position that holds the list, receives by name and flags the salesperson. Tell us how many appointments you expect per day and how many tables you have.
