The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA), a non-profit representing compelling places and experiences worldwide, will host the Storytelling, Architecture, Technology, and Experience (SATE) conference for North America in Kansas City, Missouri, from 12 – 14 October 2023. The agenda will explore the theme “Origins and Influencers: The people, places and ideas that shape our industry”.

“We are delighted to present a revolutionary event that will bring together leading-edge professionals to discuss storytelling, architecture, technology, and experiences,” says the organisation. “This event will provide participants with ample opportunity to gain precious new insight into the rapidly evolving fields of themed entertainment.”

This event follows the successful TEA SATE Europe 2023 which took place earlier this year at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany.
Last month, the TEA also announced the release of its latest global attractions attendance report. Now in its 17th annual edition, the TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index provides information on the world’s most-visited theme parks, water parks and museums. It studies the attractions sector by region – the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa (EMEA).
