SPLASHTACULAR ENTERTAINMENT RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS AWARD

The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions’ Attractions Expo is the largest international tradeshow for the amusement park and attractions industry, drawing approximately 28,000 attendees to the Las Vegas Convention Center this year. The show’s Exhibitor Awards Program continues to grow and gain prestige as one of the most recognized acknowledgements in the industry. SplashTacular Entertainment was honored with the “Best Exhibit Award” in Category Three, which comprises all 600-1,000-square-foot booths. The criteria for the award includes not only originality, uniqueness, promotion of product and quality of design, but also the team used to manage the presentation at the show.
“Overall, I must give credit to SplashTacular Entertainment’s sales team for taking the company’s presence over the top,” said John Winkler, president of Six Flags America, who served on the voting committee. “They were not only engaging with the guests who entered in and around the booth, but also presented themselves and their services professionally and enthusiastically. The awards program is very competitive and some companies spend tens of thousands of dollars on their display booths—but without an effective sales team, a booth is just another fancy prop.”
