The revamped Swim and Active Collective shows debuted this week in their new location at the Pasea Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach.
Billed as an immersive retreat, the show ditched its previous sterile home at the Anaheim Convention Center and instead offered an ocean front setting with lots of amenities including hosted lunches, snacks, drinks and dinners for buyers and attendees.
SES stopped by the show Tuesday and saw lots of line showings happening even though with the pandemic challenges, some brands and buyers had cancelled at the last minute. While we were at the show, we heard positive comments about the new location – and about the food.
Here are some photos from the show.
