Vetted CES event staff for your 2027 stand inLas Vegas: booth staff, demo specialists, brand ambassadors and team leads. Webuild teams from a two-person startup booth to a full island build, briefed andsupervised on site
CES is not a regular trade show. It runs acrossseparate campuses over four days, and the people who walk your aisle are seniorbuyers and engineers who expect a real answer, not a script.
ACES staffing agency solves what exhibitors cannot staff from head office:people who have worked a show floor before, coverage across the full runincluding breaks, a named team lead who owns the rotation, and a bench ifsomeone drops out on day two. That is the difference between a stand that runsitself and one you are managing from the aisle all week.
The Consumer Technology Association and itscontractors run registration, wayfinding and the show itself. Your stand isyours to staff. That is the part we handle, from the first booth walkthrough tothe final teardown
A few quick facts about CES 2027 to help youplan your team before the floor plan and show hours are confirmed.
Booths at CES run four days across separate campuses, and your CES event staff on the stand is what visitors remember longafter the show floor closes.
Every staff member is screened and employeddirectly by us, not pulled from a gig marketplace the week of the show opens.
Two people on a startup booth or twelve across afull island build, sized to your footprint, your traffic and your goals.
Staff who have worked a convention floor beforeand know how a long CES show day actually moves, hour by hour.
Breaks, rotations and a local bench, so yourstand is never left thin or empty during any hour the floor is open.
One person who owns the rotation, the scheduleand any decision that needs making right there on the show floor.
A local roster we know well, not staff flown induring the city's busiest and most expensive week of the year.
We staff shows in Las Vegas all year, not justduring CES week. That local base means our roster knows the city, the venuesand the pace of a convention floor, from the Las Vegas Convention Center to theVenetian and beyond.
CES2026 drew more than 4,100 exhibitors, from roughly 1,200 Eureka Park startupson a single table to full island builds among the Fortune 500 companies thatattend. A two-person startup stand and a twelve-person island are differentjobs, and we staff both well.

Cover the stand, greet visitors and keep theconversation going when the aisle fills up around you.
Run the product demo properly, so the tenthvisitor of the day gets the same version as the first.
Draw people in off the aisle and hand them onwarm to your team, not cold off the show floor.
Scan and qualify every visitor, so the follow-uplist is actually worth working on the flight home.
Cover the meeting desk, scan badges and hold thefront of your stand for every visitor who stops by.
Own the rotation, the breaks and any call thatneeds making on the floor while you focus on buyers.
Most trade show booths need 2 to 3 staff per 100 square feet, more on islands with open sides. Here is the breakdown by stand size.
How our CES staffing agency delivers: three stages, each with a named owner and a date.
Published guidance for a show this size points to booking 16 to 20 weeks ahead, before most exhibitors finalize booth design. We confirm roles and headcount, everyone screened early.
Your team gets a full product briefing, a walk of your actual stand against the show schedule, and the dress and identification standard agreed before anyone sets foot on the floor.
A named lead covers every shift, rotations are built so the stand is never left thin, and a local Las Vegas bench is on call the moment anything changes on the floor.
Coverage that holds for all four days, not just the hours that are convenient to staff.
Most trade show booths need 2 to 3 staff per 100 square feet on the floor, and more on islands with open sides on two or more edges. A 10x10 booth typically runs 2 to 3 people, a 20x20 island 4 to 6, and a 30x30 or larger stand 6 to 12. Add a team lead for every 8 to 10 staff on the roster, plus a small buffer for breaks and last-minute drop-outs across a four-day show like CES.
CES 2027 runs 6 to 9 January in Las Vegas, marking the show's 60th anniversary edition. The show is spread across separate campuses rather than one single building, including the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Venetian, plus additional venues around the city. The full floor plan and hall assignments publish closer to the show, so for now it is worth planning your staffing by campus rather than by a specific hall name.
Cost depends on the roles you need, your stand size, the number of show days and how far ahead you book your team. Market rates for CES roles generally start around $30 to $45 an hour for booth staff, demo specialists and lead capture, with rates for experienced team leads running somewhat higher across the full show. The exact figure depends on your stand, so get a quote for numbers specific to your dates and headcount.
For a show the size of CES, published industry guidance points to booking staff 16 to 20 weeks out, which lands in the last quarter of the year before the show opens in January. That is often before booth design is fully finalized, which is exactly why starting the staffing conversation early helps you plan headcount around your final footprint rather than scrambling to fill roles closer to the show.
Our CES event staff includes booth staff, demo specialists, brand ambassadors, lead capture and registration staff, and team leads who run the shift rotation for the full four days of the show. We do not supply bartenders, waitstaff, entertainers, performers, armed or licensed guards, or medical staff, so our focus stays on your stand, your product and the visitors who stop by it, from the moment the show floor opens each morning until it closes each night.
Tell us your footprint and panel schedule. You get a headcount, a shift plan and a rate sheet — usually within one business day.
