How a wall goes up at Moscone
At Moscone the hands-on work is union work. The venue lists “electronic digital signs, video walls, monitors” under Sign and Display Workers Local 510 for exhibits, and the 2026 guide of Projection, its in-house AV company, requires IATSE Local 16 for audiovisual set-up. Which applies to your wall is settled with the show’s contractor.
What we do. Before the show, we size the wall, its processing and its power from your booth drawings, and send the weights and the build steps to the show’s contractor. We ship the wall, the processors, spares and cables from Anaheim to the show’s advance warehouse, or straight to the docks at the show’s move-in time. On site, the union crew builds the wall; we plan the labor with the show’s contractor, and quote a technician of ours if you want one there.

PixelPro Productions rents LED walls for booths and sessions at Moscone Center in San Francisco, shipped from its warehouse in Anaheim, California. Moscone runs on union labor: the venue lists video walls under Sign and Display Workers Local 510 for exhibits, Projection’s 2026 guide requires IATSE Local 16 for audiovisual set-up, and at current shows an exhibitor may set up only what one person can do in half an hour without tools. Projection is the preferred, not exclusive, AV company, but it alone runs the house sound, and the venue’s House Head, a union steward, must be used on large productions whoever supplies the AV. Power of 20 A or more comes from the show’s electrical contractor; internet is Moscone Facility Services’ alone; freight goes through the show’s general contractor. Rigged items of 1,000 lb or more need plans 30 days before move-in, and a freestanding structure 12 ft or taller without an engineer’s stamp must be tied off. Walls are quoted to the show: the wall, processing and freight from Anaheim, with union labor through the show’s contractor.

Questions about LED walls at Moscone Center
Can my own crew set up an LED wall at Moscone?
Usually not. Moscone lists video walls under Sign and Display Workers Local 510 for exhibit set-up, and IATSE Local 16 handles audiovisual set-up. At current shows an exhibitor may set up alone only what one person can do in under half an hour without tools. The show’s contractor tells you which crew builds your wall.
Can I bring my own AV company to Moscone Center?
Yes. Projection is the venue’s preferred AV company, not an exclusive one. But Projection alone runs the house sound, so an outside company brings its own standalone sound. On general sessions and large productions with large-scale video, the venue’s House Head, a billable union steward, must be used whoever supplies the AV.
Who supplies power for an LED wall at Moscone?
The licensed electrical contractor the show names, not Moscone. Anything that needs 20 A or more is installed by that contractor, and at shows we have checked, power of 100 A or more comes down from the overhead catwalks.
Does a tall LED wall need an engineer’s stamp at Moscone?
A freestanding structure 12 ft or taller without an engineer’s stamp must be tied off to rig points. Booths over 16 ft need the Fire Marshal’s approval, and shows have asked for plans stamped by a licensed structural engineer.
How do you get an LED wall to Moscone from Southern California?
We ship the wall, its processors and spares from our Anaheim warehouse, either to the show’s advance warehouse or to the docks at the show’s move-in time. Moscone itself has no shipping, receiving or storage: the show’s general contractor handles all freight, and exhibitors may not drive forklifts.
How much is an LED wall at Moscone Center?
It is quoted to the show: the wall, processing, spares and freight from Anaheim, plus a technician of ours if you want one. Union labor is ordered through the show’s contractor and billed by them. Send the booth drawings and we reply with a price.
