• Prepare your trip/travels well and well in advance (if possible). This allows you to get everything in order, book ✈️ flights cheaper and have plenty of options available for 🏨 lodging. It will also help you avoid any unnecessary last-minute issues/stress, so you can focus fully on the Expo.
• Plan out your days at the Expo (but be flexible). 🤔 With all that amazing stuff going on in just 3 days, you want to make sure to prioritize the things you want to attend the most! Make a 📜 list or 🗓️ schedule that safeguards those priorities (maybe use our new app that we're developing this year!). And if things don't go as planned or if there's any space left in your schedule, make sure to be flexible and try new things! We often learn a lot when we least expect it. 🤯
• Don't be afraid to socialize and network with fellow attendees/artists (you got this!). 💪 Most artists (even the pros) are just as shy as you! Be patient, polite and genuine, but don't hesitate to spark up a conversation. 🗣️ After all, meeting other artists is what this event is all about! 🙌
• Get your merch on day one (if you can). If you don't want to miss out on merch from any of your 🧑‍🎨 favorite artists, make sure to get there first! 🏃 Same goes with the LBX show store. Otherwise, you might risk missing out on something very cool!
• If you are coming for portfolio reviews and aren't bringing a physical portfolio, please make sure to download your images onto whatever device you're bringing (phone, tablet, laptop, etc). There is not always a reliable WiFi connection and the last thing you want is to take up some of your review time trying to actually download your portfolio.
• On the day, make sure to bring…
  • 🧃 drinks
  • 🍎 snacks
  • 🖌️ art supplies (don't overdo it! 😉)
  • 📝 a way to make notes (notepad + pen, phone, etc.)
  • 🔋 an extra battery charger and/or power-bank for your phone
  • 🔌 a universal power plug travel converter (for international visitors)
  • 📒 your portfolio (printed or digital)
  • 🪪 plenty of business cards (for networking!)
  • 🎒 a backpack to hold it all
  • 👟 comfy shoes
  • 👕 comfy, yet presentable clothes
• Above all: be kind! 🤗 And have fun! 🥳

Our next show will be October 24-26, 2025!

Our show floor is curated through our online application process. We will open applications around March of 2025.

We do not accept volunteers, but we have paid crew that works the event (we call them Fireflies). Please look for applications to open around July of 2025.

There is a main concession stand located in the Exhibit Hall, and multiple smaller kiosks with snacks and drinks throughout the Conference Center building, plus there is also a Starbucks on-site.

In addition, across the street from the Pasadena Convention Center there is a plaza with numerous restaurants.

No, there is not. You may check with the Hotel Dena (which is attached to the convention center) about storing your package(s) or luggage(s) there, but there may be a fee associated with their service.

Yes! The team at Visit Pasadena has joined forces with an app called Bandwango in order to manage all restaurants and discounts, check out their Show Your Badge program to receive discounts throughout Pasadena when you show your LBX badge!
