Proficient in Top Event Management & CRM Platforms
What does an Event Prep VA do?
Preparing for a trade show involves hundreds of moving parts. Your VA handles the meticulous vendor forms, outreach, and data entry so your sales team can focus strictly on closing deals on the show floor.
Registration & Vendor Forms
Filling out endless exhibitor manuals. Organizing drayage, ordering electricity, internet, and lead scanners, and ensuring all hard deadlines are met without late fees.
Travel & Itinerary Logistics
Booking flights and securing hotel room blocks for your entire team. Creating comprehensive travel itineraries so your staff knows exactly where to be and when.
Pre-Show Outreach
Mining attendee lists or LinkedIn to email prospects. Securing meetings and booking calendar slots for your sales reps to meet at the booth during the event.
Swag & Collateral Tracking
Coordinating with print shops and promo vendors. Ensuring business cards, brochures, and branded giveaways are ordered and shipped to the venue on time.
Post-Show Data Entry
The most dreaded task: Transcribing hundreds of scanned badges or physical business cards directly into Salesforce/HubSpot immediately after the show to ensure rapid follow-up.
Stop wasting your sales team's time.
Sales reps should be closing, not dealing with hotel bookings or manually typing business cards into a CRM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Addressing common concerns regarding event prep delegation.
Can they actually book flights and hotels for us?
Yes. We recommend providing your VA with access to a corporate travel portal like TripActions, or setting up a secure, limited-limit corporate card. They will handle the research, booking, and itinerary generation based on your team's preferences.
How do they help with pre-show outreach?
If you provide the registered attendee list (or targeted LinkedIn criteria), your VA can run personalized email sequences or send DMs to invite prospects to visit your booth or schedule a 1:1 meeting with your sales reps via Calendly.
How quickly can they transcribe leads after the show?
Speed is critical. Simply upload photos of business cards or export the raw CSV from your badge scanner into a shared Drive. The VA will clean the data, format it properly, and import it into HubSpot/Salesforce typically within 24-48 hours.
What if our show schedule is seasonal?
Our flat-rate hourly model is perfect for seasonal event planning. You can scale hours up to Full-Time (40 hrs/wk) in the months leading up to a massive summit, and scale back down to Part-Time (20 hrs/wk) during your off-season.
