Each service guide on this page is keyed to the host venue's process, not a generic regional rule.
The cards below cover every service we plan for Santa Monica-based exhibitors and the regional clusters Santa Monica sits inside.
How service planning runs from Santa Monica
Service planning starts with the host venue and the show date, then layers in the access and labor rules each cluster runs.
From a Santa Monica base, that means routing each service brief to the right venue first and the right service partners second.
What is locked before production
Scope, schedule, decision rights, and a closeout plan are locked before production starts.
That keeps the field crew from making scope decisions during install.
Planner questions
Services planning questions
How are service decisions sequenced?
Host venue first, show date second, supporting service mix third; lock the venue rules first, then sequence the rest.
Where does labor sit in the service stack?
Labor is venue-policy-aware rather than uniform across the region; the venue pages carry the labor language.
