Two days, Halls D and E: Oregon Wine Symposium 2027 booths in Portland
The Oregon Wine Symposium gathers more than 1,200 Northwest growers, winemakers and wine business leaders at the Oregon Convention Center each winter. We build booths that sit beside the sessions and give a vineyard or cellar supplier two days of focused conversations.

What makes Oregon Wine Symposium different, and how we build for it
The Oregon Wine Symposium is where the Northwest wine industry meets each winter to face its challenges and plan for shifting markets and consumer expectations, in the words of its Oregon Convention Center listing.Run by the Oregon Wine Board, the 2027 edition fills Halls D and E on February 2 and 3 with more than 1,200 growers, winemakers and wine business leaders and a trade show of vineyard and winery suppliers beside the education. It is an education-first event: the floor works best for suppliers who teach, with data and practical answers, rather than those who only display.
Equipment, nursery, irrigation and labor solutions for cool-climate Northwest vineyards, from people who can talk through the season.
Cellar equipment, barrels, closures, analysis and supplies they can compare in person between sessions.
Finance, compliance, packaging, sales and marketing services for wineries adjusting to changing markets.
Your team in Portland
How Purple runs the Oregon Wine Symposium in Portland
Our Las Vegas shop builds and prints for West Coast shows like this one; crates go to the symposium's show decorator, because the Oregon Convention Center takes no direct exhibitor freight. Our project manager meets the truck at the NE First Avenue docks and directs install and dismantle with the labor OCC requires.
Inside Oregon Wine Symposium 2027
Rules that shape your booth
The Oregon Convention Center will not accept or ship exhibitor freight or drayage; all freight goes to the show decorator. We route every crate through the decorator's warehouse or show-site service.
After unloading at the docks, exhibitors must move vehicles to the OCC garage or lot; oversized vehicles get parking directions at check-in. We schedule the truck so it leaves the dock as soon as it is empty.
Labor, AV, internet, electricity and utilities are ordered through OCC exhibitor services, under its published ordering guide and terms of service. We place those orders with the booth plan.
Recreational vehicles and mobile homes may not park overnight in the OCC garage or satellite lots. Install teams stay in hotels, which we book near the venue.
The Oregon Wine Symposium is the Northwest wine industry's two-day winter meeting in Portland; pick it ahead of Unified Wine & Grape Symposium if Oregon and Washington wineries, not California ones, are the target. Compare all the agriculture shows we build for →

02 Booths & pricing for Oregon Wine Symposium 2027
What does an Oregon Wine Symposium 2027 booth cost?
The symposium's trade show sits in Halls D and E beside the sessions, and the Oregon Wine Board sets the booth sizes and sponsorships; 2027 rates are not confirmed yet. Suppliers of services and supplies use inline booths; equipment makers take larger spaces. We recommend a 10×20 for a first symposium and a 20×20 when a machine or a meeting table matters.
A lit back wall with a vineyard or cellar image, a counter with a tablet for leads and a shelf of closures, sensors or samples of materials.

The booth we would build for Oregon Wine Symposium 2027
The answer wall for an education crowd
People come to Portland to learn, and they walk the hall between sessions still thinking about what they heard. The booth answers one question a Northwest grower or winemaker has this year, in plain numbers, and gives a place to keep the conversation going.
Question wall
One question printed large, such as cost per ton or labor per acre, with your answer and the Northwest data behind it.
Hands-on shelf
Product pieces winemakers can hold: a closure cutaway, a sensor, a barrel stave, a filter pad.
Talk table
A round table for four where a speaker's question from the morning session can turn into a quote.
The demo
Show a before-and-after from a Willamette or Columbia Valley customer on screen, with the season and the numbers, then hand over the product piece that made the difference.
The meetings
The Oregon Wine Board runs no published meeting system; plan meetings around session breaks, and invite customers before the show since registration opens in fall 2026.
Better fruit. Steadier margins. Grown here.
Your people arrive at the Oregon Convention Center, Halls D and E to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

Case study · LUZI
LUZI at a fragrance industry exhibition
For LUZI, Purple turned a sensory product into a space people understood on approach; a closure, glass, label or barrel supplier at the Oregon Wine Symposium has the same problem, explaining a product made for wine without opening a bottle.

04 Designing for vineyard, winery equipment, packaging, supply and wine business service companies at Oregon Wine Symposium
Designing an Oregon Wine Symposium booth that teaches
1Teach at the booth
The symposium sells itself on education, so attendees walk the hall between sessions with questions still open. A booth that answers one hard question on its wall, with data from Northwest vineyards, gets the follow-up conversations.
2Use the two days differently
February 2 and 3 are both full days. We plan a lighter demo and more meetings for day one, then a stronger walk-up message on day two, when attendees are deciding what to buy.
3Plan for Portland in February
Crates and staff arrive in Portland winter weather. We pack graphics in sealed crates, plan dock times with the show decorator and keep lighting warm so the booth does not feel like the rain outside.
4Keep the booth about the vineyard
Exhibitors at a wine industry meeting compete with the wine itself for attention. We build the story around vineyard and cellar results, equipment and people, so the booth works without depending on a pour.
Concept rendering
Every Oregon Wine Symposium proposal includes a rendering like this
The 3D view shows layout, graphics, lighting and product positions before we cut a panel, and we revise it until the Oregon Wine Symposium booth is right. This one is a Purple concept for Netronix.

Where you could be at Oregon Wine Symposium 2027
The 2027 symposium uses Halls D and E of the Oregon Convention Center. These are the spaces that shape a booth, from OCC's exhibitor pages.
Halls D and E
The symposium's 2027 rooms, reached from the docks by OCC's drive-in ramps and roll-up doors of 20 to 22 ft. high and 18 to 20 ft. wide.
Our advice Ask the decorator which ramp serves your hall before booking a truck.
NE First Avenue docks
18 loading bays with load levelers and 8,000 sq. ft. of indoor dock space, parallel to NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
Our advice Unload, then move the vehicle to the OCC garage or lot so the next exhibitor can unload.
05 Oregon Convention Center, Halls D and E · Portland
Oregon Wine Symposium freight, OCC docks and decorator rules

Notes for Oregon Wine Symposium exhibitors at the OCC
The Oregon Convention Center does not accept or ship any exhibitor freight; send everything to the symposium's show decorator, or it will be refused at the dock. source
Exhibitor docks are on NE First Avenue: from NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard southbound, turn right on NE Lloyd Boulevard and take the first right. source
OCC's exhibitor services ordering guide, with labor, AV, internet and electrical rates, was updated September 22, 2026; read it before budgeting power for screens. source
Doors from the docks to the halls range from 20 to 22 ft. high and 18 to 20 ft. wide, so most vineyard and cellar equipment rolls in on a ramp. source
2027 registration opens in fall 2026; invite your Northwest customers as soon as it does, since the symposium runs only two days. source
Who you meet on the floor
Northwest grape growers attend for education on markets and practices and to meet suppliers, per the symposium's listing.
They come for the critical education and connections the listing describes, and to compare cellar suppliers.
Owners and managers plan for shifting markets and consumer expectations and build partnerships on the floor.

Oregon Wine Symposium exhibitor questions
Oregon Wine Symposium 2027: exhibitor questions
When is the Oregon Wine Symposium 2027?
February 2–3, 2027, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, in Halls D and E, per the venue's event calendar. 2027 registration opens in fall 2026.
Where is the Oregon Wine Symposium held?
Halls D and E of the Oregon Convention Center in Portland’s Lloyd area, on NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Exhibitor loading uses the docks on NE First Avenue.
How many people attend the Oregon Wine Symposium?
More than 1,200 growers, winemakers and wine business leaders over two days, per the Oregon Convention Center's 2027 listing.
How much is a booth at the Oregon Wine Symposium?
Not confirmed yet for 2027; the Oregon Wine Board sells booths and sponsorships. For the build, Purple's 2026 planning range for a 10×20 rental is $7,500 to $15,000, before space and show services.
Can we ship freight directly to the Oregon Convention Center?
Not directly: the venue will not accept or ship exhibitor freight or drayage. Everything ships to the symposium's show decorator, which brings it to the booth. We book that service and track the crates.
What are the loading docks like at the Oregon Convention Center?
18 bays with load levelers and 20 ft. high by 18 ft. wide doors, 8,000 sq. ft. of indoor dock space and three drive-in ramps to the halls, per OCC. Vehicles move to the OCC garage or lot once unloaded.
How do we order power and internet?
Through OCC's exhibitor services, which publishes an ordering guide with rates for labor, AV, internet and electricity, updated September 22, 2026. We place the orders with the booth plan.
Who exhibits at the Oregon Wine Symposium?
Vineyard and winery equipment makers, supply companies and service providers selling to Oregon and Washington wine businesses. The 2027 exhibitor list is not confirmed yet.
What is the difference between the Oregon Wine Symposium and Unified?
The Oregon Wine Symposium is a two-day, education-first meeting for Northwest wine businesses with a trade show beside it; Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento is a much larger January trade floor. Choose Oregon for Northwest buyers.
Can Purple build our Oregon Wine Symposium booth?
Purple can design, build and ship it through the show decorator from our Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY shop, and our project manager runs the OCC install and dismantle with the labor the show requires.
Before you sign with anyone
Ask any Oregon Wine Symposium exhibit builder these five questions:
- OCC takes no direct exhibitor freight: which decorator service will carry our crates, and when?
- Which dock and drive-in ramp serve Halls D and E, and when is our dock time?
- What power and internet will you order through OCC exhibitor services, and at what rate?
- How will the booth teach one clear point to an education-first audience?
- Could this booth also serve Unified or WIN Expo, and what would storage between them cost?
What Oregon Wine Symposium exhibitors ask us
It is an education event. Will anyone visit booths? The trade show sits in the same halls as the sessions, so 1,200+ attendees pass the booths between talks. Booths that teach something get stopped at; booths that only display get passed.
We are a California supplier. Is Oregon worth it? If you sell to Northwest vineyards and wineries, yes: they are the audience here. If your buyers are mostly in California, Unified in Sacramento a week earlier reaches more of them.
Booth rates for 2027 are unpublished. What now? Start design today and slot in the space cost once the Oregon Wine Board posts its 2027 terms. A booth designed in November and produced in December lands at the decorator in time for February 2.
