Hiring Showroom Staff at a MAGIC Las Vegas Booth
Eleven8 provides professional showroom floor staff, fashion brand ambassadors, sample and production assistants and buyer appointment hosts from Las Vegas for the apparel, footwear, accessories and lifestyle brands exhibiting at MAGIC Las Vegas, PROJECT and Sourcing at MAGIC.
Showroom Booth Staff for MAGIC Las Vegas Exhibitors
Apparel, footwear, accessories and lifestyle brands hire Eleven8 for booth and showroom staff at MAGIC Las Vegas, the wholesale fashion trade show held at the Las Vegas Convention Center every February and August. The show is trade-only: the people walking your aisle are buyers from department stores, specialty chains and independent boutiques, along with distributors, licensing teams, press and stylists. In 2026 the markets ran February 17-19 and August 10-12, and listings show February 16-18 for 2027. The crews come from our trade show staff based in Las Vegas and cover the whole market, opening appointment to closing count.
A MAGIC booth is a temporary showroom built around your sample line. Those samples are often the only pieces of each style in existence, and they have to look perfect for three days. We assign people to keep racks steamed, sized and in order, restyle the front displays after every busy hour, track any piece that leaves the rack for a closer look and make sure nothing is sold, swapped or walked away. When the show closes, the line is counted back against your list.
The selling happens in conversations. Your sales reps run the appointments and write the orders; our staff make sure they can. They greet buyers by name, confirm who has an appointment and who is walking in, bring line sheets and lookbooks, pull the styles a buyer asks about and help key orders into your order app when your reps want them to. Walk-in buyers get a short introduction to the line and either wait for the next free rep or book a later slot, so scheduled meetings are never cut short.
The campus is split by category. In February 2026 the West Hall held women's, kids, young contemporary and trends, the North Hall held men's and PROJECT, and the South Hall held Sourcing at MAGIC. We plan staff routes, breaks and sample runs around the hall your booth is in.
Because the show comes back twice a year, the same people can return to your booth season after season and learn your line properly. Pricing starts from a short brief: which hall and booth you have, which market days you exhibit and what you need people to do. The request form on this page collects all three.
MAGIC Las Vegas Staffing Plan for Appointments and Samples
Our 11-step process for MAGIC Las Vegas starts from your appointment book and your sample line. Before the market we go through how many buyer meetings you have each day, which categories and styles matter most this season, how your reps want walk-in buyers handled, and which pieces are one-offs that need watching. Shifts and roles for each of the three days are set from that, not from a standard template.
After you book, your account manager takes care of the preparation at no extra cost: staff names for your exhibitor badges before the organizer's deadline, your hall and booth location, a briefing on the line and price points, the dress code or styling you want, and how your order app and line sheets work. Your messages go through a client chat with our leads; the crew has its own chat, so nothing you decide gets lost on the way to the floor.
Each morning the crew clocks in by geo-location at your booth well before the 9 a.m. opening, checks every rack against the sample list, steams and restyles the displays and goes over the day's appointments with the lead. During the day the leads keep in touch in a group chat, so a rep who needs a style pulled or a buyer greeted gets help within minutes, in any hall.
MAGIC Las Vegas Market Day Duties in Order
Our routine for each day of a MAGIC Las Vegas market, from first appointment to sample countFashion Brand Ambassadors at MAGIC Las Vegas Booths
Our Showroom Floor Staff keep your MAGIC Las Vegas booth running like a well-organized showroom. They greet every buyer who stops, find out quickly whether they have an appointment, which store or chain they buy for and which category interests them, and bring them to the right rep or the right rack. Between conversations they keep the racks sized and in order, restyle displays, restock line sheets and lookbooks and watch the sample line, so nothing goes missing. They stay composed and polished from the busy first morning to the final afternoon of the market.
Brands We've Supported at MAGIC Las Vegas
Our clients at MAGIC Las Vegas and other wholesale fashion shows include women's and men's apparel brands, young contemporary and streetwear labels, denim and activewear companies, kids' clothing, footwear and accessories brands, licensed apparel companies, swim and intimates lines, and manufacturers exhibiting at Sourcing at MAGIC. Some arrive with a single rack and a founder who needs help on the floor; others run a large booth with several categories, a press corner and a full appointment book.
All of them sell to buyers who know the market, judge a booth in seconds and expect the people in it to know the line. We send staff who can do that, briefed on your collection before the first buyer walks in, and the same people can come back for your next market. For larger shows or press events we can also add hostesses for Las Vegas events to welcome guests.
Eleven8 is an independent staffing agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MAGIC, PROJECT, Sourcing at MAGIC, Informa or the Las Vegas Convention Center. MAGIC and PROJECT are trademarks of their owner. We provide event staff to the companies exhibiting at the show. All marks belong to their owners and are used for identification only.
How to Hire MAGIC Las Vegas Staff
Sourcing at MAGIC Booth Staff for Manufacturers
At MAGIC Las Vegas the orders are written by your reps, but a good crew makes each meeting faster and smoother. Our staff can pull the styles a buyer marks in the line sheet, hold samples up in the right colors, note sizes and quantities, scan the buyer's badge and enter details in your order app if you want them to. They know to leave terms, discounts and delivery dates to your team. At the end of each day the samples are steamed, sorted and counted, so the line looks new on the second and third mornings. Production assistants in Las Vegas from our roster handle that reset.

Why Companies Choose Eleven8 for MAGIC Las Vegas
Staff With Style and Product Knowledge
Buyers decide in seconds whether a booth deserves their time, and the people standing in it are part of that decision. Only a fraction of the people who apply to us get through, and for MAGIC Las Vegas we pick staff with a real interest in fashion, a polished manner and the ability to speak about fit, fabric, price points and delivery in a way that sounds informed. Each one is dressed or styled to match your brand before the doors open.
Planned Around Your Appointment Book
A MAGIC day has a clear pattern: early appointments, a busy late morning, a lunch dip, afternoon meetings and a final push before close, with walk-in buyers arriving throughout. Our leads plan the crew around that pattern, keep someone free to welcome walk-ins without pulling anyone out of a scheduled meeting, and send a runner for styles or line sheets before a rep has to ask twice. Quieter hours are used to restyle racks and restock, so the booth is ready for the afternoon rush.
Dressed and Briefed to Match Your Brand
Your booth staff are part of how buyers read your brand. A contemporary label needs a different look and tone from a kids' brand or a footwear company. We brief every crew member on your line, your season's story and your target retailer, agree the outfit or styling with you, and make sure the way they greet, talk and handle samples matches the image you are selling to the buyer in front of them. If your brand wants staff to wear pieces from the line, we plan fittings before the market.
Insured and at Home in the LVCC
Every person we place is covered by our liability insurance, and if your exhibitor contract asks for a certificate naming the convention center, Informa or the show decorator, we issue it. Our staff know the Las Vegas Convention Center well, from the halls and service corridors to the monorail stop and staff parking, so they arrive on time and in the right place on every day of the market.
Crews Sized to Your Booth
Exhibitors at MAGIC range from a single rack for a new label to a large showroom with several categories, a meeting room and a press corner. We size the crew to your actual space and appointment load: one person to greet and manage samples for a small booth, or a full team of floor staff, ambassadors, sample runners and appointment hosts for a big one, all run by one lead on the floor.
Help Throughout the Market
Plans change during a market. A major account arrives early, an editor wants to see the line at short notice or a delivery of extra samples comes in at noon. Text your floor lead or our operations office at any time the hall is open to reassign people, bring in a standby or adjust the schedule with your sales manager, so your reps can keep their attention on the buyers writing orders. You hear what changed and who was moved before the end of the hour.
MAGIC Las Vegas gives your brand three days in front of the buyers who fill your order book for the season. Our crews, all based in the city, look after your samples, welcome buyers, support your reps and keep the booth polished until the last appointment. Exhibitors who also show in Las Vegas in November can read our SEMA Show staffing page.
