Space, power, and a way in. Ten by ten feet per station, two dedicated 120V circuits, and dock or lift access for road cases. At San Diego Convention Center the electrical is ordered through the venue and load-in runs on a marshalling schedule, so we need that window in writing. In a the Gaslamp Quarter loft or a hotel ballroom it is usually simpler — confirm the circuit is not shared with catering and we can work with the rest.
The short checklist
- Power — two dedicated 120V/20A circuits per station. At San Diego Convention Center that means ordering electrical through the venue in advance; in a hotel room it usually means confirming the circuit is not shared with catering.
