Convention Center Rigging
PSAV Rigging Services
As the on-site provider of audiovisual services to the Anaheim Convention Center, PSAV Presentation Services has been designated by the facility to be the exclusive provider of rigging services for all non-tradeshow floor meetings and events. Our ETCP certified management team will coordinate our on-site inventory of chain hoists, truss, hardware and scissor / boom lifts to manage your event – from initial design to load out.
The Anaheim Convention Center is equipped with a permanent rigging system in specific areas of the venue. As part of a comprehensive overhead safety and risk management program, the system is periodically load tested and inspected.
