Four to six months out is ideal. The Gaylord Pacific is new and busy, so early planning means better dates, smoother logistics, and less stress later.

20x20 Trade Show Booth for Lightbox at Esri User Conference 2025, San Diego, CA Set the Stage in Chula Vista
The spotlight’s drifting south. And it’s landing squarely on Chula Vista! With the brand-new Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center lighting up the bayfront, the city is quickly becoming Southern California’s newest stage for major trade shows and industry gatherings. In 2026 alone, the Gaylord Pacific will host the AAHS Annual Meeting, the ASRM Annual Meeting, and the Plastics Recycling Conference — events that pull thousands of attendees, innovators, and decision-makers from across the country. It’s a big leap for a city once known more for marinas than meetings.
For exhibitors, that means opportunity. Fresh crowds. Fresh budgets. Fresh competition. But with a new venue comes new rules, fresh logistics, and a few moving parts that can catch even seasoned pros off guard.
That’s where having a local partner makes all the difference.
Every trade show booth we create for Chula Vista events is designed, fabricated, and trial-built right at our San Diego facility, just a short drive from the Gaylord Pacific. You get to walk through your booth weeks before it is shipped — no last-minute surprises, no frantic fixes, just a flawless setup ready to shine on opening day.

Words from our exhibitor clients in California
Aledia @Display Week 2025, San Jose, CA
May, 2025
….Let you know that all our Aledia's team in San Jose is really grateful for the job done. The installation team on-site was very professional and everything went smooth. The booth is really great, and we are having a big impact on the numbers of attendees coming to encounter us. Taking in account the short time we have had to prepare all the elements; we are very satisfied of this first collaboration!
