18 November 25 - IAAPA Day 1

Ladies, gentlemen, and inflatable royalty…

Please enjoy these exclusive snaps from my first day at IAAPA.

Just so you know — I got in a LOT of trouble taking these.

Security said, “Sir, you can’t climb that.”

I said, “Ma’am, I’m Goldberg.”

She was not impressed.

But I risked my shiny golden little life so YOU could enjoy this content. You’re welcome.

Swipe through and tell me —

Do you recognise anyone?

I bumped into some major names in the industry.

There are CEOs, manufacturers, influencers, and one guy who definitely thought I was a roaming mascot hired by the event.

And yes… that IS an Olympian in one of the pics.

I won’t say who, but here’s a hint:

They looked at me like I was doing a premium gold-medal-level performance in “athletic mischief.”They’re not wrong.

I met:

People who run half the industry

People who’ve been in the industry longer than I’ve been stuffed

People who immediately asked for selfies (taste)

And people who slowly backed away (also understandable)

If you spot yourself in the photos:

Congratulations — you’ve made it into the Goldberg Cinematic Universe.

This is a big honour. Bigger than Lord Donovan trying on adult-sized shoes.

Day 1 was wild.

Day 2 will be wilder. (But now I’m off to eat Italian food

)

Stay tuned — I’m just warming up.
