What Tais Events does

Tais Events (legal name TAIS S.L.) is a Barcelona-based event staffing agency founded in 1986 by Mireia Español, who continues to serve as Founder and Director. The company provides hostesses (azafatas), hosts (azafatos), and general event support personnel for fairs, congresses, conventions, corporate events, and social gatherings primarily across Catalonia and Spain. The core offering is a curated database of 3,000+ active profiles matched to event requirements, supplemented by a Last Minute Service for urgent staffing and a sustainability management module providing carbon footprint reporting. The company is validated as a preferred staffing provider for marquee venues and events including Fira de Barcelona (EHRA, CPHI, Construmat, Infarma), GSMA's Mobile World Congress, and the 37th America's Cup in Barcelona (2024).

The business runs on a small core team of 1-10 employees but coordinates a workforce that can reach 350+ simultaneous workers during peak season, having served 2,500+ clients and 350+ events in the 2022-2023 season. The platform is a standard WordPress-based website with online quote requests, phone, and email ordering; the underlying technology is described as a staffing and personnel management platform but no proprietary software, integrations, or AI-driven features are disclosed. Pricing is quote-based, customized per event based on personnel count, duration, and service level, with no public pricing available. The company is privately held, has no subsidiaries, no external funding, no parent company, and operates as a family-founded business with regional focus.

The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct outreach, referrals through event organizers and venue partnerships (Fira de Barcelona), and structured networking via BNI VOS Premium. Marketing channels include a multilingual website (Spanish, Catalan, English), Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Customers represent varied verticals — pharmaceuticals, technology, cosmetics, healthcare, sports, financial services, and media — with ongoing testimonials from GSMA, Fira de Barcelona (multiple events), Step Exhibitions, Sant Joan de Déu, EANS, Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, and Mobile World Capital. Sustainability is a stated differentiator, with carbon footprint reporting and environmental best practices promoted on the website.
