Trade shows regularly attract hundreds or thousands of visitors who spend hours ambling around your venue. These conventions are excellent for brands but require practiced security teams who know how to handle a crowd and navigate challenging situations.
That’s where The Guard Alliance comes in. Our professional security guards are trained to work for trade shows, conventions and expos. They know how to monitor all the moving parts that go into events like this and address possible concerns in a calm and timely manner.
Whether your event is next month or in a couple of days, The Guard Alliance can be ready to help. For every event we sponsor, we take close inventory of the venue so we can address potential strengths and weaknesses and keep an eye on them throughout our time working for you. We create a customized plan of action based on what we see, and depending on your preferences, we can include any or all of our services for your event, such as:
From setup to shutdown, it’s a good idea to keep security personnel on hand during your convention. Vendors from all over are coming in with plenty of stock to sell, and some thieves may find the unloading time to be the perfect opportunity to get involved. Likewise, after the trade show ends, your sellers are tired and ready to pack up and go home. It can be easy for them to miss something going wrong until it’s too late. Having trade show security guards during these times can be a deterrent to many potential criminals.
Throughout the main event, security guards are even more essential. These occasions are often busy and crowded, leaving many people off-balance and unable to react to situations as quickly as they usually might. Our guards are prepared to watch every inch of your venue and confront issues the second they arise. Before they even take your job, our guards will have a plan on how to address some of the most common concerns that occur at expos.
During our years of working in event security for trade shows and expos, we’ve learned the best ways to monitor and handle situations. Before they work for you, each one of our guard staff goes through a rigorous screening and training process, giving them the skills they need to interact with potentially hostile situations. Furthermore, many of them come to us with a background in law enforcement or military training, providing them with even more experience in managing challenging situations.
