Welcome to our final episode of the year! Because it's the holiday season, we wanted to do something special for this podcast and focus on entertainment that gives back. We all know how lucky we are to work in themed entertainment. I mean, this job is about making people happy. That's really the goal. What we create at Falcon's is definitely a form of escapism, but it goes beyond that. It's about forging lasting memories, engaging people on unexpected levels, and perhaps even giving them a different perspective, whether it's about the environment, animals, the interconnectedness of human beings, whatever it may be.

As you probably know, the annual IAAPA Expo took place in Orlando from November 16th to the 19th. In addition to hosting guests at our own booth, something we love doing every year, we brought a recording kit with us so we could interview a few attendees on the floor and get their takes on the big convention, where the industry is headed, and how they feel about gathering in person again at the industry's largest event.
