Need Money20/20 USA booth staff or trade show models in 2027? We book Las Vegas locals as product presenters, payments demo hosts, meeting pod hosts, lead reps and lounge hostesses, each at $85 an hour with zero travel costs.
Sources: us.money2020.com home page (Money20/20 USA, October 19–21, 2027, Las Vegas Convention Center and Resorts World; 300+ sponsors on the show floor) and “Who attends” page (~11,000 senior attendees, 3,000+ leading companies, 85+ countries, 1 in 3 attendees from the C-suite); Money20/20 announcement of the move, February 2026, as reported by Financial IT (2026 was the last year at The Venetian; LVCC hosts the show floor, content and core networking; Resorts World is the evening venue). Purple Exhibits sets the $85 price.
Money20/20 USA is a meetings show, so the people at your booth decide how many of those meetings actually happen. Purple Exhibits books Money20/20 booth staff who live in Las Vegas: product presenters, demo hosts for payment terminals and apps, meeting pod hosts, lead desk reps, lounge hostesses and trade show models. Whatever the job, the price is $85 an hour for each person, and a shift is never shorter than four hours. Since everyone already lives in town, you will not see airfare, hotel rooms or travel charges on the bill. The coming edition is set for October 19–21, 2027, and it moves to the Las Vegas Convention Center for the show floor, with Resorts World as the evening venue. Money20/20 USA comes back to Las Vegas every October. Book five to eight weeks ahead for the best fit, or as late as 72 hours out for a rush request.

Buyers at a payments show are bankers, founders and investors who judge a booth in a few seconds. A neat, matched crew tells them your company has its details in order. Every photo here shows a real Purple Exhibits team, and that is the bar your Money20/20 crew will meet.
Our cover photo shows two presenters in sharp blazers talking in front of a wall-size graphic. That is the core skill at a fintech booth: stand next to a complex product story and make it sound simple in under a minute.

Pick one look for the whole crew, or match it to each zone: suiting in the meeting pods, brand knits at the demo bar. Ship any branded pieces to us and we collect sizes and check every person at call time.
A fitted black dress or black suit with one metal accent. Quiet, expensive-looking and right under bright LED walls.
Best for: Sponsor islands, launch daysNavy or blue blazers over a white shirt, the look of the people your buyers meet at the bank every week.
Best for: Meeting pods, client suitesA knit dress or top in your brand color with a lanyard badge. Friendly, easy to spot and good for a full day.
Best for: Demo bars, coffee barsA branded quarter-zip or vest over a crisp shirt, dark trousers and clean sneakers. The fintech uniform, made neat.
Best for: Startup booths, long shiftsAt Money20/20 your crew size follows your demos and your meeting calendar. Enter both, pick your show days and any evening event, and the tool returns an approved crew with the total and the staff cost of each booked meeting.
Eight services for fintech and payments exhibitors, from the aisle corner at the LVCC to the client dinner at Resorts World. One price for all of them: $85 per person per hour.
Models hold the corner of your booth, start the conversation with a passing banker or merchant and walk them to the right demo.
Ambassadors scan badges on the aisle, sort visitors by company type and hand out your giveaway only after the scan.
For a product reveal or a partner announcement, promotional models present on cue and keep the crowd facing your screen.
Hostesses run your meeting pods and invited-guest lounge, check names against the calendar and keep slots moving.
Demonstrators learn one tight script for your checkout, wallet or dashboard demo and deliver it the same way each hour.
At suites, dinners and receptions, including the evening program at Resorts World, our door team works the guest list name by name.
Reps ask your approved questions, tag the lead as bank, merchant, fintech or investor and book the next call on the spot.
Money20/20 draws people from more than 85 countries. Tell us early if you want Spanish, Portuguese or something else, so we can match the request from our Las Vegas roster.
Need people for other events in town? Our Las Vegas trade show staffing team covers every major hall and resort on the Strip. For the two roles that matter most at a payments booth, see our product demonstrators for live demos and our lead capture staff for badge scanning at busy booths.
A sample island with a screen wall, a demo bar, meeting pods, a coffee bar and a lead desk. Tap any zone for the job description at that spot; the numbered dots match the crew list beside the plan.
A sample 30×30 island drawn loosely. Once the 2027 hall map is published, send yours and we plot staff positions on it.
A large screen tells the product story without sound. A presenter with a headset mic runs a short talk in front of it on the hour and invites the small crowd to the demo bar.
Visitors tap a card, try the checkout flow or click through the dashboard. A demo host starts each session, keeps every device charged and logged in, and calls your product lead for deep questions on fees or integration.
Most deals at this show start in a booked meeting. A pod host checks each guest against your calendar, seats them with water, and pings your account lead as soon as the following bank or merchant group checks in.
Coffee pulls people off the aisle in the morning. A host hands over each cup, asks one opening question and scans the badge while the barista works.
Visitors who want a real next step land at this desk. Our rep logs the badge, works through the questions you signed off on, notes the company type and puts a follow-up call in the diary.
A greeter on the corner with the most foot traffic asks what the visitor works on, payments, lending, banking or risk, and walks them to the right person.
Crowds form at the screen wall during talks. Keep the standing area inside your carpet so the aisle stays open for show traffic.
A short row of soft seats for invited clients. A hostess keeps the list, offers drinks and keeps the seats for the people they were meant for.
Brands that have booked Purple
After a decade at The Venetian, Money20/20 USA moves in 2027. The floor and the stages go to the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the evenings go to Resorts World. Returning exhibitors should plan as if it were a new show.
From 2027 the exhibit floor, the stages and the main networking areas move to the LVCC. It is a big campus with several halls, so the walk from a parking garage or a Loop station to a back-row booth takes real time on day one.
Send your hall and booth number as soon as you have them. We set call times by the nearest entrance and plan breaks so a booth is never left empty.
Money20/20 names Resorts World as the evening home of the show, for after-hours programs and community events. Many exhibitors book dinners, suites and receptions there too.
Our check-in hosts and hostesses work your evening event with the guest list in hand, then the floor crew comes back fresh the next morning.
Money20/20 says the two venues are joined by an underground transport system, so attendees can move between the floor and the evening program without a cab line.
We brief your evening crew on the route and give each person a meeting point, so nobody is late for the door.
Halls, docks and parking are in our Las Vegas Convention Center exhibitor guide, and the evening venue is covered in our Resorts World Las Vegas venue guide. If you exhibited before 2027, our Venetian Expo guide shows the old home for comparison.
Six jobs on a fintech booth, the headcount we suggest for each and the week to lock them in.

|---|---|---|---|
| Product presenter | Gives a short talk with a headset mic in front of your screen wall and sends listeners to the demo bar | One per stage or screen | 6 weeks out |
| Demo host | Starts each demo on your terminals or tablets, keeps devices ready and hands technical questions to your team | One per three devices | 6 weeks out |
| Meeting pod host | Checks booked guests against your calendar, seats them and keeps every 30-minute slot on time | One per three pods | 5 weeks out |
| Lead desk rep | Scans badges, asks your approved questions and tags each lead by company type | One or two per booth | 5 weeks out |
| Coffee or lounge host | Runs the coffee handoff or the invited-guest lounge and scans each badge with a smile | One per bar or lounge | 4 weeks out |
| Greeter and trade show model | Holds the busiest corner, asks one question and walks each visitor to the right person | One per open side | 4 weeks out |
Calm, sharp people who can open a payments demo, keep a meeting calendar on time and pass every scanned lead to the right banker on your team. These are the five roles we send to Money20/20 USA.
Presenters on a headset mic who walk a small crowd through your checkout or banking demo on the hour.
Ambassadors who scan each visitor badge at the aisle and ask the one question that sorts banks from merchants.
Hosts at your tap-to-pay terminal station who start each try-out and keep every device ready.
Hostesses who welcome booked guests into your client lounge or meeting suite and keep slots on time.
Reps with a tablet who qualify a buyer by company type and book the follow-up before they leave.
Send your demo listTerminals, apps, dashboards and owners.
We rehearse the flowEvery host runs each demo before doors.
Leads tagged by typeBank, merchant, fintech, investor.
Bankers, retailers, founders, investors and press all walk past your booth at Money20/20, and no single person on your team is right for all of them. Our reps ask one sorting question and route the lead before the visitor leaves.

We run the same routing at other Las Vegas tech shows. See our Black Hat USA booth staff for security buyers in summer and our AWS re:Invent booth staff for cloud teams in December.
Payments is a regulated business. Your booth crew is there to start conversations and move them to your experts, not to talk numbers or rules. These are the lines we brief on before every Money20/20 shift.
Short, approved lines about what your product does, who it is for and where the next demo starts.
"Great question. Let me get the right person." Then we bring a named person from your team within minutes.
Pricing, interchange, fees, rates, contract terms and anything about a deal in progress.
Questions about regulation, licensing, data security or how customer data is stored.
Ask a visitor for card numbers, account details or any payment data, even for a demo. Demo cards and test accounts only.
Promise results, quote numbers we have not been given, or speak to press on your behalf.
Tick each step as you finish it. Your progress is saved in this browser.
Three show days in October, with setup before and evening events around them. Money20/20 has not posted 2027 floor hours yet, so this plan shows the days only.
Final setupOn the last move-in day the crew walks the floor, learns every demo and tests scanners on the show network.
Opening dayThe busiest aisle traffic of the week. Full crew, greeter on every open side.
Meeting dayPods run back to back. A good day for booked buyer meetings and evening dinners at Resorts World.
Closing dayTraffic often thins late in the day. Keep the lead desk staffed until the floor closes.

A 20×30 booth with a screen wall, a demo bar and a coffee bar runs on six people per shift: a presenter, a demo host, a coffee host, a pod host, a lead rep and a greeter. Here is that team hired from Las Vegas next to an identical team brought in by plane for the week.

Fly-in costs use the same typical Money20/20 rates as the budget above. Other agencies’ pricing varies.
Takes a few minutes. Asking costs nothing.
We’ll email your quote within 24 hours, usually much sooner. Need it now? Call (800) 994-8030.
Without approved lines, staff either say too little or say something your legal team would not. Send the script and the “pass on” list early.
2027 is the first year on the LVCC floor. Returning exhibitors who still picture the Venetian layout lose an hour finding the booth. Share the hall map.
A full calendar with no one checking guests in means late starts and empty pods. Give meeting pods their own host.
Terminals and tablets that time out mid-demo kill the moment. A demo host keeps every device charged, logged in and reset.
Leads go cold when the expert is in a meeting. Name a backup for each topic so the crew always has someone to call.
Prefer the phone? Dial (800) 994-8030 and mention Money20/20.
It is $85 an hour for each person, with four hours as the shortest shift. That price is the same for a presenter, a demo host, a pod host, a rep, a hostess or a trade show model. Nobody flies in, so travel never appears on the invoice.
Money20/20 lists October 19–21, 2027, Tuesday to Thursday, in Las Vegas. The show floor moves to the Las Vegas Convention Center and Resorts World becomes the evening venue. Money20/20 had not yet published 2027 floor hours at the time of writing.
Yes. Money20/20 USA takes place in Las Vegas every year, usually in October. The 2026 edition was the last one at The Venetian; from 2027 it runs at the LVCC and Resorts World.
They deliver a short, approved script and run your demo the way you show them. Questions on pricing, fees, regulation or data security go straight to your own team. We never ask visitors for real payment data.
Start from your meetings and demos, not your carpet. Plan one demo host per three devices, one pod host for every 16 or so booked meetings a day, then a rep at the lead desk and someone on the corner. Our crew authorization tool works it out for you.
They scan each badge, ask two or three questions you approve, and tag the lead as a bank, merchant, fintech, investor, network or press contact. Each tag maps to a person on your team, so follow-up starts the same day.
Five to eight weeks before October 19 gives you the widest choice of presenters and hosts. October fills up fast for Las Vegas event staff. Short notice is possible too: we can staff a booth with 72 hours’ warning.
Right here. The people we place at Money20/20 are Las Vegas residents who commute to the LVCC themselves, which keeps airfare and hotels off your costs. Pricing stays at $85 an hour each, four hours minimum.
Yes. Book only opening day, a launch moment or one evening reception. The four-hour minimum still applies to each person, and extra days can be added as long as we have time to brief anyone new.
Yes. Hostesses, guest-list hosts and brand ambassadors from our team work dinners, suites and receptions at Resorts World and elsewhere on the Strip all through show week.
Often. Money20/20 counts attendees from more than 85 countries, and Las Vegas has many Spanish speakers and people who speak other languages. Tell us which ones you need when you book. Language skills do not change the $85 price.
Backup staff stay on call in Las Vegas for the whole show week. Someone who has read your brief gets to the convention center inside two hours; if not, that shift costs you nothing.
Most fintech booths choose a sharp, simple look: black dresses or suits, blue suiting, a brand-color knit or a logo quarter-zip. You can ship branded pieces and we check that everyone arrives pressed and on time.
No. Exhibitors hire Purple Exhibits on their own, as an independent supplier. We have no link to Money20/20 or to Informa, which runs the event.
Yes. Our exhibit team designs, builds and sets up booths at the Las Vegas Convention Center, from meeting pods to demo bars and screen walls, and the same project can include the crew.
A lot of fintech business happens after the floor closes. Our Las Vegas crew covers the evenings too.
