National Career Guidance Show Front of house and theatre support

What we did

The National Career Guidance Shows ran across England under the theme Embrace.Evolve.Succeed, bringing career guidance professionals together to network, learn and pick up resources on the changing world of work. For the Southwest show we supplied conference staff across three areas: front of house, the seminar theatres and the exhibition floor.

The team was split into three roles: front of house event staff, seminar theatre facilitators and an event support team for setup, breakdown and exhibitor help.

• Welcomed attendees at front of house and handed out event guides
• Ran registration on iPads to keep entry moving
• Offered first-point guidance and handled attendee questions at the door
• Introduced speakers in the seminar theatres and kept each session to its time slot
• Worked with the AV technicians on the theatre technical setup
• Kept the theatres tidy, supported speakers and gathered attendance data for the organisers
• Helped exhibitors move their materials on trolleys during setup and breakdown
• Stored excess literature securely so the exhibition space stayed clear and presentable

For conferences and careers events in the West Country, our Bristol promotional staff can cover each zone, and our exhibition staff keep every area running.
