How We Staff Every Los Angeles Award Show

Every Eleven8 activation follows our proven 11-step event process — built from thousands of trade shows and refined for the demands of Los Angeles Award Shows's large-scale, multi-building campus.

From the moment your team is booked, a dedicated account manager oversees your entire activation with offsite operations management included at no additional cost. Pre-show chats run through separate client and team channels so everyone is aligned before a single buyer walks the floor.

On show day, staff clock in via geo-located check-in 15 minutes early, complete a full showroom walkthrough, and are set up at stations 30 minutes before buyer doors open. A dedicated group chat keeps your team connected in real time for instant resolution of on-the-ground logistics across all three buildings.

1 backup per 8 staff members — included at no additional cost

Geo-located clock in & out — real-time confirmation your team is on site across LA Award's campus

Dedicated account manager & on-site supervisors — every show, every building

Post-show recap & staff feedback reports — so you know exactly how your showroom performed
