Full convention staffing for major venues nationwide — Javits Center, McCormick Place, George R. Brown, LA & Anaheim Convention Centers, Moscone, and more. Registration, booth, hospitality, and on-site coordination.
The Bay Area is a three-anchor engine — Silicon Valley corporate campuses (Apple Park, Googleplex, Meta MPK, Nvidia Endeavor, Adobe HQ, Cisco, Salesforce) that drive quarterly all-hands and partner days, the SF Moscone / Chase Center conference axis (Dreamforce, RSA, GDC, JP Morgan Healthcare week), and the East Bay event corridor (Oakland Arena, Jack London Square, Lake Merritt). Our Bay Area roster runs roughly 50% bilingual or trilingual — strongest in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Hindi — matching actual South Bay and SF demographics. Tech HQ event teams, conference exhibitor programs, and SF agency producers are our anchor buyer. Single-captain dispatch across all nine Bay Area counties. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Moscone Center handles Dreamforce, RSA, GDC, and J.P. Morgan Healthcare week — plus the San Jose McEnery and Santa Clara Convention Centers for tech-heavy programs.

Questions Palo Alto buyers ask about convention staff.
Does Showcraft staff the major convention centers in Palo Alto?+
Yes — we staff conventions at the primary venues throughout San Jose & the Bay Area, with captains who know each venue's load-in flow, badge protocols, union jurisdictions, and freight-elevator timing. Send us the convention, hall, and booth or session room and we'll match staff who have worked the venue before.
What kind of convention staff can you provide in Palo Alto?+
Registration, badge-in, booth staff, hospitality leads, session monitors, VIP and speaker handlers, ushers, and on-floor coordinators. We can staff a single booth or a full convention takeover across San Jose & the Bay Area. Every deployment of six or more includes a Showcraft captain on-site.
How early do you need to know about a Palo Alto convention booking?+
For large Palo Alto conventions (50+ staff across multiple days), 4-6 weeks is ideal. Standard fill is 2-3 weeks. The major shows in San Jose & the Bay Area pull from the regional labor pool, so early lock-in means better talent selection. Rush fills are possible with a surcharge.
Are your Palo Alto convention staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every convention staffer Showcraft sends in Palo Alto is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and auto coverage. COIs are issued naming the venue, show, and exhibitor as additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
