IAAPA, the global association for the attractions industry, will host IAAPA Expo Asia 2023 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from 13 – 16 June. The association has now announced that registration for the leading trade show for the attractions industry in Asia is now open. The trade show is already sold out for exhibitors and will include 70 booths across nearly 7,000 square meters of space.
This June, general managers, owners, and CEOs of amusement and theme parks, hotels and resorts, water parks, family entertainment centres, location-based entertainment centres, historic/cultural/tourist attractions, museums and science centres, zoos and aquariums, and cruise lines will descend on Singapore to make new connections, sign deals and learn from their peers.
Event highlights
This year, the Leadership Breakfast will feature Tom Mehrmann, president & chief operating officer at Universal Destinations & Experiences, as a keynote speaker. There will also be a Pacific Rim Opening Reception at Universal Studios Singapore, an EDUTour of the Jewel Changi Airport and an EDUTour of AVATAR: The Experience at Gardens by the Bay.
The agenda also features a wide range of educational sessions, looking at topics such as inclusivity, budget creation and maintenance, contingency planning, sustainability, technology and innovation. In addition to education sessions, there are also EDUTours, networking events, and in-depth learning opportunities, some of which have an additional cost.
“The IAAPA team looks forward to welcoming attendees and exhibitors when we finally host IAAPA Expo Asia after a forced break,” says June Ko, executive director and vice president of IAAPA Asia Pacific. “The industry is ready to once again gather in the Asia Pacific region to showcase their greatest innovations, hear from leading experts, and build relationships during one of IAAPA’s signature events.”
Earlier this year, IAAPA held the first-ever IAAPA Middle East Trade Summit and IAAPA North America Trade Summit.
