Conference & Stage Expo
Anticipating A Return to Long Beach
Helen Willard - Stage Expo Sales Manager
The 52nd Annual USITT Conference & Stage Expo will be held in the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center in Long Beach, California. Stage Expo will take place in exhibit halls A & B, a 148,000 square foot space located on the lower level of the Long Beach Convention Center (LBCC), with registration, meeting rooms, and the Grand Ballroom on the next two levels. Those who attended the '98, '01, or '04 conferences will recall the striking glass concourse and lobby which offer expansive views of the scenic harbor and downtown skyline.
The LBCC is smack dab in the middle of Long Beach's vibrant entertainment district, which continues to expand and improve. Shoreline Village, the Pike at Rainbow Harbor, the Aquarium of the Pacific, and the restaurants, clubs, and shops of Pine Avenue are all just steps from the convention center. Across Queensway Bay, the historic Queen Mary is docked, and the geodesic dome which once housed Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose is now the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, home port to two Carnival Cruise Line ships.
Located next to the LBCC, the Hyatt Regency Long Beach is the USITT conference headquarters hotel. Additional room blocks have been booked at the Westin Long Beach and the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel, both located nearby on Ocean Boulevard.
Plan now to join colleagues March 29 to 31 in Long Beach. More than 80 exhibitors have already reserved space for next year's show. For information on exhibiting at Stage Expo 2012, contact hpwillard@aol.com.
