“The IAAPA Expo Asia is the perfect place to network, expand [the] visibility of your business, enhance your professional development, and connect with manufacturers, buyers and peers,” Chan said. “For both exhibitors and attendees, it’s a chance to explore the latest trends, key issues and consumer preferences for the amusement/attractions sector; and, by having all the key industry players under the same roof, it’s an efficient way to meet in-person with over 10,300 potential clients, partners, suppliers and collaborators who share your vision.”
He explained that the expo covers the entire spectrum of the attractions industry – not only amusement and water parks: “Our event embraces the whole attractions landscape, including entertainment centres,
location-based attractions, zoos, aquariums, museums and nature attractions as well as hotels
and resorts and event facilities such as stadiums and food and beverage operators. It really is a one-stop destination for professionals in the leisure and attractions industry, whether you’re part of a multinational corporation or a small family-run operation.”
This year’s theme ‘Find Possible’ reflects the event’s focus on inspiring creativity and forging meaningful connections to unlock new growth opportunities, explore the future of the leisure and entertainment industry, and discover unexpected partnerships and new market opportunities. Exhibitors can also gain invaluable insights through the expo’s comprehensive education program which will cover a wide range of topics, from personnel development and business optimisation to F&B trends and revenue diversification. The expo’s EDUTours will offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at some of China’s peak entertainment venues and insider knowledge directly from their top executives. Lunch and Learn sessions are another opportunity to gain actionable insights that help businesses stay ahead in a rapidly changing market.
“We consistently receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from exhibitors about the value and return on investment they’ve gained by participating in the IAAPA Expo Asia,” concluded Chan.
