Venue guideAquarium of the PacificAquarium of the Pacific checked against EAC paperwork and electrical deadlines; keeps the scope specific to the room, the show calendar, the freight path, and the crew responsible for opening day.Anaheim exhibit venues split cleanly into three tiers: the Anaheim Convention Center (Halls a through E plus the ACC North expansion), the major resort-district hotels (Marriott, Hilton Anaheim, Sheraton Park, Hyatt Regency Orange County), and smaller ballroom and meeting spaces across the Disneyland Resort and Orange County.
Each venue has its own show manual, labor jurisdiction, freight routing, and service pricing. ACC runs on Teamsters Local 952 for freight and IATSE 504 for rigging. Resort-hotel ballrooms run on house labor, with house AV contracts in most cases.
Dock appointments, electrical order deadlines, and rigging approval windows sit at the center of every venue plan. Missing any of them costs real money — a late electrical order at ACC prices differently than an on-time one, and a missed dock appointment can push move-in to the next day.
Each venue is treated as its own operating environment with its own rules.
If the show is at ACC, start with the current exhibitor kit. If it is at a resort hotel, start with the banquet event order and the house AV rider. We can help read either one.
