Dubai Entertainment Amusement & leisure expo (DEAL) 15th Anniversary Celebrations Blooloop

Despite the well reported slow-down and sidelining of some major projects in the Middle East confidence is still high as the UK once again provides the largest country contingent at this year’s DEAL, 26-28 April 2009.

Eighteen of the 25 companies, are members of ALES-UK and together they comprise about 14% of the total number of firms represented at this major trade show.

In addition ALES-UK are presenting the first ever one-day seminar programme covering such diverse topics as starting a theme park, managing a multi-use facility, staff training, impact on childhood development of amusement games and crisis management.

Internationally renowned speakers include:

Bart Dohmen/BRC Imagination Arts, The Netherlands
David Camp, ERA, UK
Claus Grimand/Profun Abu Dhabi
Craig Hart/VP Leisure MAF Group, Dubai
Beth Standlee/Trainertainment, USA
Frank Seninsky/Amusement Entertainment Management, USA
Simon Langdon/Cedarthree Crisis Management, UK.

The Themed Entertainment Association Europe (Middle East sector) are complementing the event by supporting speakers and arranging a Mixer, whilst ALES-UK will finish the Seminar programme with a networking reception.

The evening prior to the exhibition will witness the inaugural meeting and official launch of MELAC, the Middle East Leisure & Attractions Council.

Some 30 companies are expected to attend the launch of what will be the first representative organisation for ME based attraction facility operators and equipment and service providers.
