RWS Entertainment Group (RWS), a creator of award-winning custom entertainment, will return to a significant amusement industry event next month, after being appointed to produce mainstage live entertainment.
For a second consecutive year, RWS has been selected by IAAPA, the global association for the attractions industry, to support the organization’s annual international conference and trade show with full creative and production services.
Presentations and awards
RWS will provide a diverse range of services for IAAPA Expo 2022 including scripting, staging, music, media, lighting design and installation. The four-day event will include a diverse programme of educational programming, receptions and keynote presentations as well as an award reception and multiple special events.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with IAAPA yet again to produce the global attractions industry’s premier event,” says Ryan Stana, RWS founder and CEO. “From serving on committees to sharing best practices to developing engaging education sessions, RWS Entertainment Group has enjoyed its ongoing partnership with IAAPA and its members.”
“We look forward to again providing world-class production services for this year’s Expo as we celebrate an unprecedented year of growth, in which we acquired Cincinnati-based JRA and UK-based The Entertainment Department (ted).
“The combined expertise of RWS, ted and JRA expands our capabilities to captivate audiences at events such as IAAPA Expo and broaden our reach to markets across the globe.”
Gaining perspective
RWS’s services will be well utilised in the IAAPA Theater, home to popular events including the Opening Ceremony, Welcoming Reception, Lunch and Learn, Leadership Breakfast and the IAAPA Brass Ring Awards.
IAAPA North America vice president and executive director, Michael Shelton says: “We are delighted to bring RWS Entertainment Group back to produce our IAAPA Theater programming.
“As the attractions industry continues to rebound and rebuild, we are ready to bring industry professionals together to share best practices, gain new perspectives and generate eye-opening ideas that will move our industry forward.”
As a Platinum Sponsor of IAAPA Expo, RWS will also host the Sponsor Spotlight session “RWS Entertainment Group: One Company. Endless Possibilities.” on Wednesday 16 November from 12:35 pm on the EDUTalk Stage.
RWS has expanded this year with the appointment of industry veteran Robby Gilbert to its leadership team, coinciding with a year of record company growth.
