EXCELLENCE

The

Amway Center was honored with the

2017 Venue Excellence Award by the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM)

during the 92nd annual VenueConnect Conference and Trade Show in Nashville, Tennessee. The award is bestowed upon facilities that excel in the management and operation of public assembly venues, and the

Amway Center was the only arena to garner this distinction.

What makes this honor special is that it is not only about the building, "it's about all the people who operate it and ensure our patrons have

memorable moments in a safe environment" stated Orlando Venues Chief Venue Officer, Allen Johnson.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALLEN JOHNSON AND THE ORLANDO VENUES TEAM!
