The event is a hotspot for celebrities, and it was recently announced that Shaquille O’Neal will serve as the 2020 Olympia Weekend Ambassador for this year’s expo, which will be held from September 9 to September 13.

Chief Olympia Officer Dan Solomon opened up about the landmark change in ownership, telling Us Weekly, “As we roll out a unique media and event integration, we are strengthened by significant resources brought to the table by our new owner. Jake is a visionary and his track record for success speaks for itself.”

In addition to the Mr. Olympia competition, the inclusion of the Muscle & Fitness, M&F HERS and FLEX brands in this acquisition has created a consolidated social media audience of nearly 17 million fitness-driven followers.
