ORLANDO, FLORIDA (Nov. 20, 2024) – Winners of the IAAPA Brass Ring Best Exhibit Awards were announced today during the Leadership Breakfast at IAAPA Expo. The IAAPA Brass Ring Best Exhibit Awards carry forward a tradition dating back to the 1800s when carousel riders aimed to grab a rare brass ring on the ride, with the ring symbolizing a special prize and often another free ride. This tradition has evolved into one of the industry's most prestigious honors, celebrating excellence in exhibit presentations.

The IAAPA Brass Ring Best Exhibit Awards continues this pastime by rewarding companies with the best booth presentations in three size categories on the show floor. Exhibitors are scored on their booth design, branding, staffing, and overall appeal. Winning an IAAPA Brass Ring Awards is considered one of the industry's most prestigious honors.
