IAAPA Expo 2025 — “Symphony of Memories”

IAAPA Expo is one of the largest annual gatherings in the attractions industry, and its Main Content Stage carries the week's biggest moments. For IAAPA Expo 2025 in Orlando, Knock Out worked on behalf of PRG, the production partner, as the producing leadership team on the Main Content Stage.

Knock Out's team covered executive production, show calling, assistant producer, and content management. The setup was built around a clear chain of communication: IAAPA's creative team, then Knock Out, then PRG's technical crew. Knock Out acted as the translator between them, which kept creative changes from landing on the technical team as surprises. Weekly production calls, executive producer touchpoints, a shared content tracker, and daily crew recaps kept everyone working from the same information.

Knock Out managed and organized the content on this show. IAAPA and its creative partners produced the screen content, scripts, and videos. Knock Out's content team managed the media server files, tracked every version, handled the Hall of Fame and voice-over videos, and kept master scripts current through final rehearsals.

The program was theatrical and complex: a Broadway-style Opening Ceremony with a live band and dancers, the black-tie Legends Hall of Fame evening with a live auction, a Leadership Breakfast, and an education session, all on a stage with three LED walls and moving stage elements. With limited rehearsals and signature events close together, Knock Out ran the daily schedule and crew calls, and kept cues, content, and live execution aligned from load-in through the final show.

Special thanks to the PRG team and the IAAPA team for welcoming Knock Out Productions into the fold.
