CALIFORNIA ACTION RETAILER + VENTURE

FINALLY, THE SHOW WE’VE ALL ASKED FOR, THAT BRINGS OUR COMMUNITY OF BRANDS TOGETHER TO INSPIRE, EDUCATE & SUPPORT AUTHENTIC GROWTH WHILE MAINTAINING THE FUN.

June 20-22, 2025 / SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER

After 25 years without a vibrant, centralized, and core event that brings our community together, CARV fills that void. Taking place in San Diego from June 20-22, 2025, the California Action Retailer + Venture Expo offers the opportunity to see, touch, and feel the latest and greatest in boardsport trends.

SHOW TO GROW

TO OUR PARTNERS

The single most important goal of CARV is to connect boardsport retailers of all sizes, from all regions of the country, with brands that matter, that are innovating, and that make quality goods, and value this community. CARV will be a place to be inspired, look forward, and even help shape the future of the industry.

THE LOCATION

CARV will take place over two and half days in the San Diego Convention Center in the heart of downtown San Diego. More than 70.000 sq. feet will be available for brands and retailers to reunite in one place to collaborate, communicate & grow. We are dedicated to providing an affordable venue to write immediate orders and pre-book for Spring 2026. Business first and party second!
