- wcfields 7y agoI work in the trade show & event industry, and a million is a drop in the bucket. Actually, it’ll pay for the artist fee for the welcome reception concert (think like a “Rhianna”) The shows I’ve worked the overall topline budget for a 2 day single-company show at San Jose Convention Center (SJCC) that uses all of SJCC usually $30-40 million. Moscone South in SF is $35-50. That’s just direct cost for food, Union, fabrication, etc... doesn't include venue rental (client usually pays that direct) & doesn’t count the extra that flow to the hotels, Uber/taxis that the guests generate.
