SoCal Gaming Expo continues to be the premiere gaming expo in Southern California and has grown year over year with approximately 6,000+ attendees. Attendees come from all over the country to experience a truly remarkable weekend of fun and gaming. The show has been a staple for the gaming community in SoCal since 2015.
One of the main reasons attendees love SCGE is for the vendor marketplace. Our marketplace is made up of over 160 spaces with a mix of video games, tabletop, toys, collectibles, pop culture, indie developers, artists and handmade crafts.
We use a third party event company for all set up such as pipe & drape, chairs and tables. They are on site the weekend of the event for any additional needs that you might have such as additional tables and chairs or other items that may need to be rented.
After your purchase you will receive an email confirming your space options. We send out a detailed packet to all vendors several weeks before the show with info on parking, your space assignments, load in/out and other pertinent info to make your weekend a success.
Each booth comes with one (1) 8' skirted table, 2 chairs and 2 weekend passes to the show. If you purchase multiple booths you will receive 2 passes per booth up to a maximum of 4 weekend passes per vendor. Vendors can purchase additional discounted vendor passes once they receive a purchase link or at the show during load in times at the vendor check in area.
Some spaces may be pipe and draped and others may be open areas. We lay out the floor in our discretion to present the best look for the show.
VENDOR FLOOR SPACES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. If you later realize you are unable to attend we will do our best to try to backfill your space and offer a refund but make no guarantees.
HOTEL INFO
We have special rates that we personally negotiate each year at local Pasadena downtown area hotels. There are limited rooms available through www.socalretrogamingexpo.com > hotels to get our special hotel rates. We suggest you book your rooms early as discounted room blocks do sell out. There are also other hotel options on our website throughout Pasadena that are available.
We strive to make each vendor's experience a great one and work with each and every vendor to make sure they have a great weekend. If you have any questions regarding being a vendor or sponsorship please contact Ricky Avila at ricky@socalretrogamingexpo.com.
Electricity, WIFI and other services are sold to Vendors directly through the Pasadena Convention Center Services team. Electricity and Wifi can also be purchased day of at the event.
