Surge FX - Special Effects & Lighting

09/10/2026

🚨 WE'RE GOING BIG AT IAAPA 2026. 🚨

One booth wasn't enough.

This year, SurgeFX is coming to Orlando with TWO locations at IAAPA Expo — and that's not all. 👀

🎈 BOOTH S5117 — INFLATABLES
👻 BOOTH W1179 — HAUNTING GROUNDS

But here's the part we're REALLY excited about...

🔥 SURGEFX EFFECTS & LIGHTING WILL ALSO BE USED IN THE HAUNTING GROUNDS DISPLAY RIGHT BESIDE OUR BOOTH! 🔥

So when you walk through the Haunting Grounds and see the atmosphere, lighting, and effects bringing the experience to life, you'll be seeing SurgeFX equipment doing what it was built to do — LIVE.

This is going to be one of our biggest IAAPA shows yet.

✅ Two SurgeFX locations
✅ Live special effects
✅ Lighting
✅ Product demonstrations
✅ Our equipment in action inside the Haunting Grounds display
✅ The SurgeFX team there to talk projects, applications, and all things FX

And we want YOU there.
