At the IAAPA Expo, the IAAPA Brass Ring Best Exhibit Awards were presented to recognize the best booth presentations. Exhibitors were judged on booth design, branding, staffing, and overall appeal. The prestigious awards have a long history, originating from the 1800s carousel tradition of reaching for a brass ring. This year, a new Image Award was introduced, honoring the top booth among all entries. Winning this award is considered a significant achievement in the attractions industry. Here are some highlights TRR would like to recognize:
