Trade Show Services of Anaheim builds, ships, installs, and runs booths for the Anaheim Convention Center and resort-district venues. Custom builds, rentals, graphics, freight, I&D labor, AV, and show-site supervision stay on one project number with one lead on the floor.
Anaheim Convention Center

Resort-Hotel Activations
Sponsor programs and brand activations at the Marriott, Hilton Anaheim, Sheraton Park, and Hyatt Regency Orange County — house labor coordination handled.
Why exhibitors stop calling three vendors.
Most of our clients came to us after losing weekends to three vendor phone calls and a freight problem nobody owned. The fix was boring: one point of contact, one schedule, one lead on the floor the morning the show opens. That is still the whole model.
A typical week looks like a 20x30 custom booth finishing in our shop Monday, freight hitting the ACC's Katella dock Tuesday night, the I&D crew badging in Wednesday morning, and our lead supervisor staying on the floor until the last crate rolls out Friday night.
The ACC runs on Teamsters Local 952 for freight and IATSE 504 for rigging. Hotels like the Marriott, Hilton Anaheim, and Sheraton Park run different labor rules for ballroom programs. We work every Anaheim venue the way the venue expects to be worked, with the dock, labor, AV, and electrical rules reflected in the plan before the first crate ships.
The quote is line-item. Fabrication, graphics, freight, drayage, labor hours, AV, storage, and supervision each get their own line with the assumptions written down. If the booth size, the graphics count, or the AV scope changes mid-project, we re-quote that line. Not the whole scope. That is what keeps the final invoice close to the number at kickoff.
Who we work with
Most of our clients are marketing operations teams at B2B companies running four to ten shows a year. A handful are agencies who need a reliable Anaheim partner when a national program lands at ACC for D23, NAMM, Natural Products Expo West, WonderCon, or the Western Veterinary Conference.
If you need a rental booth for one show, we do that. If you need a custom program that travels six cities a quarter, we do that too. Labor, freight, graphics, and AV come from the same crew either way.
Peak weeks matter. When D23, NAMM, or Expo West are in town, every local I&D crew, rigger, and freight lane is booked weeks out. We hold backup capacity against those windows for existing clients instead of hoping the market stays loose. If your show is one of those weeks, the real work is committing earlier — on freight lanes, on hotel blocks, on the dock appointment.

Services built around the show schedule
Choose the parts you need or hand us the whole run. The same project lead can coordinate design, fabrication, rentals, labor, AV, freight, and venue paperwork so the handoffs do not become your job.
Each service is scoped with Anaheim-specific assumptions: ACC dock windows, resort-hotel labor rules, graphics deadlines, power orders, crate counts, and strike timing are written into the quote before the build starts.
