New York, NY – October 26, 2021 – RWS Entertainment Group (RWS) has been selected by IAAPA, the global association for the attractions industry, to provide full creative and production services for the organization’s annual international conference and trade show in Orlando, FL November 15-19. Services provided by RWS will range from scripting and staging to music, media, lighting design and installation. The four-day premier event includes educational programming, receptions, keynote presentations, the award reception and numerous special events.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with IAAPA to produce the global attractions industry’s premier event,” said RWS Founder and CEO Ryan Stana. “RWS Entertainment Group has been active in the international attractions industry for years, attending the annual IAAPA Expo conference and tradeshow and supporting our clients and partners.
