Registration is now open for the IAAPA Leadership Conference 2019, taking place from 26th to 28th February in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Aside from getting the inside track on some of the region’s most visited attractions, there will also be the chance to see the location of the much-anticipated Expo 2020 Dubai.
This is the second time that the conference has been held in the Middle East. Attendees will join industry professionals from around the world for a packed programme of insightful presentations, site visits and networking opportunities.

Register before Dec. 14th for early-bird discount
Among the speakers already lined up for the event is Phil Taylor, Managing Director of Team Leisure, a specialist leisure-consulting firm based in the United Arab Emirates that offers market analysis and feasibility studies.
Earlier this year, IAAPA celebrated a sell-out 2018 Leadership Conference, which took place in Japan for the first time. The event, held at the beginning of March, attracted over 170 top-level attractions industry leaders from 28 countries.
Next year’s conference expects to be equally popular and attendees are advised to book early to avoid disappointment. Register before December 14th 2018 to take advantage of the discounted early-bird registration rate.
