The process for fairs in Nuremberg:

1. Clarify your needs: people per day, shift times including set-up day, languages and dress code.
2. Send a request: fair dates, hall and stand number are enough for a quote via the staff request.
3. Review profiles: you receive suggestions from the regional pool with language skills and trade fair experience.

What do trade fair hostesses do at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre?

Nuremberg hosts many specialised trade fairs, for example in electronics, packaging, food and security. Trade visitors expect quick orientation and competent referral at the stand:

• Counter and registration hostess: reception, guest lists and badge handout
• Stand hostess: outreach, lead capture and scheduling meetings for sales
• Congress hostess: support for specialist forums and lecture rooms
• Stand service staff: drinks and catering for customers and partners

NürnbergMesse has 16 exhibition halls with 180,000 m² of covered gross exhibition space and up to 50,000 m² of outdoor area (NürnbergMesse).

At technical trade fairs, it pays to plan hostesses with English skills and a basic understanding of the product. For one of the largest electronics fairs on site there is a dedicated page on hostesses for embedded world.

How much do trade fair hostesses cost in Nuremberg?

The base rate is 27.50 € per hour, and typical hourly rates range from around 30 to 48 € depending on the assignment. There is no base fee (pricing overview). The price depends mainly on lead time, foreign languages, specialist knowledge and off-peak hours.

As a worked example: an 8-hour fair day costs between 220 and 384 € per person. This includes recruiting, employment contract, payroll, social insurance, shift planning and replacements. Because the staff come from the region, travel and accommodation costs usually do not apply.

How many trade fair hostesses does your stand in Nuremberg need?

The functions at your stand are what count. Count the positions that must be staffed permanently: reception, outreach in the aisle, scheduling meetings for sales and catering. Each position needs one responsible person per shift, otherwise gaps appear exactly at peak times.

Then add breaks and shift changes. Specialist fairs in Nuremberg often have clear visitor peaks in the morning and after lunch, and your shift plan should fully cover these phases. With technical products, it pays to have someone who can answer simple questions and hand conversations over to your experts. A short overlap at shift changes prevents an empty counter.

How do you recognise a good agency for trade fair hostesses in Nuremberg?

A quote can quickly look good on paper. It only becomes reliable when the provider answers these four questions concretely:

• Who is the employer? Only with an AÜG licence and its own employment contracts does the employment risk stay with the provider.
• What is the fill rate? Ask for a number, not a promise.
• How quickly is a replacement available? A dropout on the morning of the fair must be solved within hours.
• How are profiles checked? Have the language level, trade fair experience and briefing process explained.
