I spent a few hours at the Agenda Trade Show yesterday at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach.
The show was busy, and Agenda showcased its new look with ready-made booths with clean lines, a more upscale setting and a wider range of brands.
D. Nachnani, owner of the Coastal Edge chain on the East Coast, said he liked the look of the show and the booths.
“It’s clean, and gives the show a uniform look,” he said. “The brands’ ethos are conveyed instantly.”
Here are some photos from Wednesday at the show. I’ll be back there today.
