Venue Overview

The Austin Convention Center is a multi-floor powerhouse for high-scale events (80-1300 guests), where we've staffed 42 activations dominated by trade show booths (70%), brand ambassadors (20%), and logistics runners (10%). Peak seasons in March, May, and July see heavy demand for station-based service in this public venue, with no-tipping policy ensuring focused execution.

Professional-casual all-black attire (strictness 7/10) keeps teams sharp amid moderate security, required check-ins, and restricted phones. Small server-focused teams (avg. 6 staff) handle equipment transport, outdoor distributions at key entrances, and runner tasks flawlessly, turning logistics challenges into seamless client wins.

"Station at high-footfall entrances like 4th Street and Trinity for optimal flyer distribution and engagement. Bring water and cooling gear for outdoor shifts."
