Learning, networking & exploring
IAAPA Expo is the world’s largest gathering of amusement park and attractions professionals. It brings together industry leaders, innovators, and specialists for four days of networking, learning, and exploring. The programme focuses on the emerging trends, ideas, and technology that are influencing the future of the attractions sector.
Jakob Wahl, president and chief executive officer of IAAPA, says: “We are excited to invite professionals from all corners of the globe to join us for IAAPA Expo 2024. This event provides a unique platform for industry professionals to connect, learn from each other, and discover the latest products and services that will enhance their attractions and operations.”
More than 1,100 exhibitors will be showcasing the newest advancements from the international attractions sector on the sold-out show floor.
This year’s pavilions are Family Entertainment, Games & Arcade, Outdoor Exhibitors, Rides & Equipment, Operational Services, Inflatables, Show Production & Design, Food & Beverage, and Water Park.
The event will also include an extensive education programme, with sessions delivered by industry professionals on subjects such as guest experience, sustainability, technology, AI, marketing and communications, safety, and security, among others.
In addition, IAAPA Expo has expanded into the OCCC’s North Concourse for the first time. Attendees can look forward to engaging events and a range of new offerings on the building’s north side.
Michael Shelton, vice president and executive director of IAAPA’s North America region, says: “IAAPA’s education team took great care to build a conference program that offers something for everyone. Session speakers this year truly represent all pockets of the industry and this year’s EDUSessions include everything from a deep dive into artificial intelligence to how to build a better financial foundation to trending public relations topics and crisis communications.”
The Orange County Convention Center provides an ideal environment for the IAAPA Expo once more, with cutting-edge facilities and a convenient location in Orlando, which boasts Florida’s busiest airport and one of the top airports on the planet.
IAAPA Expo offers delegates the opportunity to connect with other industry professionals while also exploring a city renowned for its exceptional attractions, with theme parks, water parks, and entertainment complexes.
Last month, IAAPA revealed details of its IAAPA Explores: Sustainability leadership summit for attractions, which is being held in Paris from 9 to 12 July.
