Part of the Business terms glossary:

Booth babe is slang for a female model who is hired for the duration of a trade show to attract potential customers.  Such models are typically dressed provocatively and are hired for their appearance rather than for their knowledge about the product they are promoting.

Next Steps

A booth babe’s responsibilities typically involve greeting attendees, handing out literature and guiding potential customers to a sales representative.  She may also pose for photographs with trade show visitors or take part in a short entertainment routine designed to gather a crowd.

In recent years, the label “booth babe” has picked up a negative connotation, primarily because some vendors have dressed their trade show models quite scantily -- in some cases exposing as much flesh as the law permits.
