Expo Location
All booths for this event will be located indoors in the foyer space and Port of San Diego ballroom inside the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center (see pictures below). Trellis will be sending all exhibitors the expo floor plan to choose their booth location in late November and early December. Booths are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so please be sure to secure yours on time. Please note that we will not request booth location changes from other sponsors.
Complimentary Booth Furniture
Complimentary Booth Furniture
Trellis provides the following booth items at no additional charge. Please see the Extra Booth Materials section below for extra items your team can purchase to make your booth unique and stand out from the crowd.
Furniture + logo sign
Each booth will include a bar table (36″W × 24″D × 41″H), one bar stool, and a simple placard featuring your company logo affixed to the front of the table (note we will need a vector file version of your logo by January 19 to create this sign). If you do not need the furniture or the sign, please inform your Customer Success manager so we can save resources.
Pipe and drape
Only booths that are back to back on the floorplan will have pipe and drape at the back. Booths that are only next to another booth on the left or right side (not the back) will NOT have pipe and drape (either at the back or the side).
Power
A 500 watt outlet will be provided at the back of each booth, see the Extra Booth Materials section below for options on purchasing extra power if needed.
WiFi
Trellis will have our own WiFi network available to connect to at the event free of charge. If your booth display depends on fast and reliable internet, however, we recommend purchasing an ethernet cord or your own wireless network. See the Extra Booth Materials section below for more details.
Security
A security guard will be posted in the expo areas from February 23 - 25 after event hours (7 PM - 7:30 AM).

Load-in and load-out
Loading Dock
All exhibitors transporting booth materials by truck should load-in and load-out their materials at the event venue's loading dock. You do NOT need to schedule load-in/load-out times for this event. Freeman will meet your driver at the loading dock and escort them to a bay once one becomes available. Please just make sure to arrive within the allotted set-up/close-down times (3-8pm on February 22 for set-up and 10:30am-2pm on February 25 for close-down).
Loading dock address:
Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center
1000 H St
Chula Vista, CA 91910
All exhibitors using the loading dock must use union labor to unload and transfer their materials to their booth. This service will be provided automatically upon arriving at the loading dock. Exhibitors will be charged for this service via Freeman. See Expo Policies below for additional details on union labor requirements.
Storing materials during the event
Any materials that you cannot store at your booth (both small and large) need to be stored by Freeman in our storage room. If you’d like to order this storage service, please see Freeman at their service desk.
Shipping packages after the event
If Freeman stored any of your booth materials during the event, they will deliver them back to your booth at the start of exhibitor close-down. All exhibitors must fill out and submit the outbound paperwork in advance. Once you are done packing-up, please leave your sealed packages at your booth and affix shipping labels to each package. Any packages left at the event venue after 2pm on Thursday, February 25, 2027 that are left unsealed or don’t have any pick-up scheduled or shipping labels attached will be taken by Freeman and accrue storage fees.
Food & Beverage
Food & Beverage
Outside Food and Beverages: No food, beverage, or alcohol will be permitted to be brought into the convention center by Exhibitors.
Onsite Catering: If you'd like to order F&B from the venue's catering department, please do so via this page by 📆 January 25. If you have any questions, please reach out via this page.
Expo Policies
Expo Policies
Rigging and ground structures: If your team plans on hanging materials from the ceiling or building a tall ground structure (above 15'), please review the Rigging Rules and Guidelines for Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center and submit a rigging request from Encore via this form.
Union Labor Requirement: This venue is unionized, so your team will likely need to use union labor to transfer items to/from your booth as well as set-up/close-down your booth.
Materials Handling: The union has jurisdiction over all unloading and reloading of materials. The Union also has jurisdiction over the operation of all material handling equipment, including dollies and hand trucks. You may hand-carry only what you can manage by yourself (one person) in one trip, using no equipment. Since hand carried materials may not come through the freight entrance, please use the front entrance of the convention center.
Installation and Dismantlement: The installation or dismantling of exhibits which requires the use of hand tools, or takes one person more than 30 minutes, or exceeds ten feet in any direction, falls within the jurisdiction of the union.
Zero-Waste
Zero-Waste
Since 2015, Trellis has been pursuing the goal of generating as close to zero waste as possible, from set-up to close-down, for its events. We're continuing this challenge for GreenBiz 27. All stakeholders - Trellis, venue staff and exhibitors - will work together to send as little waste to the landfill as possible through procurement, planning, education, and sorting.
All exhibitors are required to review the Zero Waste Guidelines to ensure compliance with the event’s waste management policies.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the guidelines please reach out to jessica@trellis.net.
