Booth reps, demo hosts, brand ambassadors, hostesses and models for the Indiana Convention Center, Gen Con, FDIC and race month. Local staff who know every skywalk and never miss a call time. $85 an hour, every role.
Every Indy show draws a different crowd. Choose yours for the team we would send, how early to book and one tip from our coordinators.
Indianapolis is one of the easiest big-show cities to work: the convention center, the stadium and twelve hotels are linked by enclosed skywalks. Purple Exhibits staffs the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, the connected hotels and race-month events with local booth reps, demo hosts, brand ambassadors, hostesses and models at a flat $85 an hour per person. Our Indy crew knows the skywalk routes, the gaming and fire-service crowds and how the city changes in May. Book four to six weeks ahead for Gen Con and FDIC, three weeks for most shows, and 72 hours for a rush.
