Reps who qualify senior visitors at finance and association conventions.
FinanceAssociationsB2B
Booth reps, brand ambassadors, product presenters and hostesses for the Charlotte Convention Center, the auto show and race-weekend hospitality. Local Charlotte staff, $85 an hour for every role.
Charlotte is two show towns: one in suits, one in fire suits. Purple Exhibits staffs the Charlotte Convention Center, uptown hotels and the Speedway in Concord with local booth reps, brand ambassadors, product presenters and hostesses at a flat $85 an hour per person. Our Charlotte crew works finance and association conventions uptown, the auto show in November and race-weekend hospitality in May, and every shift is built around a lead goal. Book three to four weeks ahead, six for race weekends and big national conventions, and 72 hours for a rush.
