Anaheim hosted its largest meeting in two years with an estimated 60,000 in-person attendees gathering March 8-12 for Informa Markets’ Natural Products Expo West at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The show had the largest number of attendees since the pre-pandemic NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show in January 2020 and follows the Natural Products Expo East event held in Philadelphia September 22-25, 2021.
After two years of unprecedented convention center cancelations and postponements, the return of Expo West signifies a major, and welcomed, momentum shift for the convention center business.
Jay Burress, president and CEO of Visit Anaheim said that by hosting a safe and responsible event, it will undoubtedly give other convention center clients the added confidence to move forward with the return of their in-person events.
Organizers told attendees that masks were required while indoors at the convention center and all surrounding hotels and venues, with KN95 masks available onsite. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test were also required of all event participants. The measures followed the Anaheim Convention Center guidelines and the latest requirements of the California Department of Public Health.
