About Anaheim Convention Center

Anaheim Convention Center is a convention and exhibition venue in Anaheim, California, serving trade shows, conferences, business meetings, exhibitions and public events. The venue has hosted the NAMM Show, Natural Products Expo West and VidCon, although future event dates must be checked with individual organizers. Meeting and exhibit facilities: Visit Anaheim publishes specifications for exhibit halls, meeting rooms, ballrooms and the arena. The convention center has more than one million square feet of flexible exhibit space. Its floor-plan resources list dimensions, capacities and setup options, helping event organizers plan booths, presentations, training sessions and receptions. Actual room suitability depends on the event layout, technical requirements and venue approval. Outdoor event spaces: The Grand Plaza, Arena Plaza and Katella Terrace provide additional gathering areas. Each has different dimensions and potential uses, so planners should verify availability, permitted activities and rental terms. The arena is another distinct venue space with its own seating and event configurations. Planning and visitor information: Visit Anaheim provides convention planning resources covering parking, electrical guidelines, emergency procedures, equipment specifications and on-site services. Exhibitors should consult current move-in, booth and technical instructions for their specific event. Attendees should check event registration, entrance information, parking and schedules with the event organizer. Orange County context: The center is part of Anaheim's resort-area meeting district, with nearby hotels and visitor amenities. It serves local organizations as well as regional and national convention visitors. Frequently asked questions Q: Can the center host both expos and smaller meetings? A: Yes. Its published plans include large halls and smaller meeting spaces. Q: Are outdoor event areas available? A: The facility has designated outdoor areas; confirm event-specific availability and rules. Q: Where are room dimensions and planning resources? A: Visit Anaheim provides official floor plans, capacity information and event-planning guidance. AV, connectivity and on-site event support Convention organizers need more than exhibit square footage. Visit Anaheim identifies on-site service partners and planning information for event audiovisual requirements, internet access, food and beverage, and facility logistics. The exact scope, cost and permissions for audiovisual rigging, networking or catering must come from the facility and its designated providers. Production managers should review load-in instructions, utility locations, approved service arrangements and relevant safety requirements well before exhibitors arrive. Attendee audiences and destination planning The Anaheim Convention Center serves trade-association organizers, corporate meeting teams, exhibitors, professional conference attendees and members of the public for certain ticketed events. Large conventions may draw visitors to nearby hotels, restaurants and attractions in Anaheim's resort district. That surrounding destination infrastructure does not replace event registration, room-block terms or official transport instructions. Visit Anaheim provides current planning resources, while each show organizer controls its own registration and schedule. Questions before renting convention facilities An event proposal should specify anticipated attendance, booth or stage layout, meeting-room breakout needs, registration configuration, internet and power demands, accessibility requirements and any special exhibits. Ask for a current floor plan and confirmed capacities for the intended configuration. Do not rely on generic maximum-capacity numbers when an event needs substantial production equipment or extra safety aisles. Additional FAQs Can AV requirements affect a venue booking? Yes. Review technical specifications, facility approvals and designated service-provider arrangements. Does every convention use the same entrance? No. Confirm arrival, registration and loading directions with the particular event. Who confirms an exhibition date? The event organizer and the venue's current event information are the appropriate sources.
