Your exhibitor badge allocation caps your stand team before any staffing ratio does — and it's published months in advance. In this episode we break down the real staffing math for European trade shows.

In this episode of the Adam Expo Stand podcast, we cover:

• The staffing ratio that actually holds up on a show floor — one person per 4.5-5 m², minimum two at all times

• Why IFEMA Madrid's badge scale (18 badges for a 50-99.5 m² stand) often caps your team before your ratio does

• A four-day shift pattern built around fatigue, not just headcount

• How stand design — counter positions, seated pods, demo screens — sets your true simultaneous capacity

• What European venues require from your build crew (PPE, risk-prevention protocols, badge-free assembly)

We walk through the SGS Dental case study at Expodental, IFEMA Madrid, where staffing was planned at drawing stage instead of the week before the show — and cite CEIR and UFI data on why understaffing a stand wastes disproportionate opportunity.
