Anaheim is the home to the Disneyland Resort outside Los Angeles, in Southern California. As well as being a massive complex of family-friendly, Disney-themed rides, restaurants, hotels and shops, Anaheim is also a great place to meet for business.
Why exhibit there?
Of course Anaheim’s economy is largely based on tourism, with the Walt Disney Company being the largest employer in the region, but tourism and business have built a healthy interdependence in Anaheim over the years.
The city has become economically diverse with the development of business and manufacturing firms and Anaheim is currently home to more than 15,000 businesses, of which more than 100 are manufacturing plants.
Getting there
When you arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the easiest way to get to Anaheim is on the Disneyland Resort Express.
The Disneyland Resort Express provides the most convenient mode of transportation between LAX and the Disneyland Resort area—including both Disneyland Resort and Anaheim Resort hotels.

Key tourist hotspots
If you’re in Anaheim, you’re going to go to its star attraction: Disneyland. Bear in mind though: getting around Disneyland in just one day is an impossible task, so always allow for at least a couple of days when you visit.
Restaurants
- Healthy Junk is entirely vegan, but meat lovers may not even notice. The menu is seasonally driven and lets veggies outshine the rest. Favorites include a burger (vegan, of course) topped with a crispy Anaheim chili pepper, vegan beef fajitas, and a Philly cheese steak.
- Baci di Firenze Trattoria has been bringing a taste of Italy to Anaheim for almost a decade now. The menu features expected Italian classics like pastas, veal dishes, and risottos.
Bonus round
- Local currency - US dollar.
- Language - English.
- Visa requirements. You will require a visa to enter the USA. What kind that is depends on where you have come from and what you are planning on doing there. The first step you have to take in order to start your US visa application, is to figure out under what kind of visa you are permitted to enter the United States. After you have selected the visa type you need to apply for, you should check the requirements and start gathering the documents that are required for that visa.
- Plug sockets in the USA are the standard two pin plugs.
- Cultural sensitivities. The USA is a real patchwork of cultures, identities and customs, however there aren’t any real cultural sensitivities to be aware of, but points worth noting:
- Most Americans move to a first name basis pretty quickly.
- Americans have no etiquette when it comes to giving and receiving business cards.
- Arrive on time for meetings as time and punctuality are very important to Americans.
- Use statistics to backup your claims - most Americans are impressed by hard data and evidence.
