Chula Vista, California—just steps from the Mexican border—proved to be a stunning backdrop for the FMI Midwinter Conference, where leaders gathered to shape what’s next for the food industry. The new venue delivered beautiful views and a fresh setting for collaboration, and the NOOK Event Pods® helped ensure the attendee experience matched the moment.
Strategically placed across various floors of the venue, the NOOK Event Pods® created much-needed seating and quiet space for FMI attendees. Whether catching up on work, holding quick meetings, or simply taking a break between sessions, participants appreciated having comfortable, accessible spaces integrated throughout the event environment.
Lobby placements once again demonstrated one of the most practical advantages of the pods. By positioning them near existing power outlets, the team was able to plug them in directly—avoiding unnecessary electrical service costs and simplifying the setup process. Smart placement equals smart budgeting.
A special thank you to our partners at Shepard, who ensured the pods were handled with care and rolled seamlessly into position throughout the venue. Their attention to detail and professionalism made the move-in and move-out process smooth and stress-free.
We’re proud to support FMI as they continue to create forward-thinking environments for their members—proving that thoughtful space planning plays a key role in shaping what’s next.
