Visit Anaheim

Welcome to Anaheim, NAMM! For 50 years, The NAMM Show has filled Anaheim with music, innovation, and global energy. This milestone moment also marks 125 years of NAMM as a global trade show, with a legacy that continues well beyond this week. Here’s to the next chapter and another inspiring week in Anaheim.

Visit Anaheim's Presented By Night at Honda Center highlighted the impact of partnership during the Freeway Faceoff, as the Anaheim Ducks faced the Los Angeles Kings in front of a sold-out crowd. The night included Visit Anaheim–provided rally towels for every guest and the Ducks wearing their away jerseys at home, highlighting Visit Anaheim’s away-jersey patch sponsorship. The evening also featured a $3,000 donation from Visit Anaheim to the ANAHEIM DUCKS FOUNDATION INC in support of youth hockey access, education, and health and wellness initiatives.

Visit Anaheim is excited to partner with Visit Houston, bringing together two dynamic destinations to collaborate, share insights, and create greater value for the meetings industry. Recently, both teams hosted a joint happy hour during PCMA, allowing planners to connect with two destinations in one setting — a strong foundation for continued collaboration ahead.

Visit Anaheim continues to drive year-round tourism for the destination by booking future business for the Anaheim Convention Center. In December, Visit Anaheim booked 25 meetings and 26 conventions, which are projected to generate an estimated economic impact of $528 million. Looking at the full year, 2025 marked a strong booking year overall, with Visit Anaheim confirming 210 meetings and 85 conventions, generating a projected $2.41 billion in economic impact for the destination. 

From future-forward breakouts to meaningful conversations beyond the handshake, PCMA Convening Leaders 2026 created strong moments for the Visit Anaheim team to connect, listen, and engage with planners and destination partners shaping what’s next for the meetings industry. Throughout the week, the team spent time meeting with clients, experiencing the event alongside peers, and continuing important conversations around how meetings are evolving and how Anaheim shows up as a destination built to support planners now and into the future.

Every great event has a team behind it. One that brings local knowledge, strategic insight, and hands-on experience to the table. Meet the Visit Anaheim crew.

PCMA week is officially on. Visit Anaheim is onsite, caffeinated, and ready to connect as the destination gears up for an exciting 2026. Find the team and see what’s ahead.

Visit Anaheim has secured 142 conventions, meetings, and events for 2026, reinforcing the destination’s momentum as a leading West Coast hub for meetings and conventions.

From milestone events like NAMM's 50th anniversary to the return of Blizzcon, these bookings show what’s possible when scale, partnerships, and destination experience align.

DMOs create the most impact when they’re brought in as true planning partners. In a recent PCMA article, Visit Anaheim’s Julie Rice CMP HMCC PCA CATP CTA, shares how strategic DMO collaboration helps planners unlock smarter sourcing, stronger local partnerships, and better event outcomes. It’s a clear look at how Anaheim supports meetings of every size with value that goes beyond room nights.

It was an unforgettable night for Visit Anaheim at the annual Dux in Tux event with the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center last night. The evening brought together a vibrant mix of the Anaheim community, from culinary talent and artists to fashion leaders, small business owners, and agency partners, alongside the Ducks’ Troy Terry and his wife. It was an incredible night to connect, celebrate partnerships, and spotlight the people who help make Anaheim such a dynamic destination.
