This expo will bring together the global attractions, theme park, water park, family entertainment, museum, zoo, and leisure industries onto one platform, offering a dynamic exhibit floor showcasing the latest innovations, ride systems, immersive technologies, and guest-experience design.
Alongside the trade show, attendees will have access to educational programs, including IAAPA Institutes and industry panels, backstage or “EDUTour” visits to local Abu Dhabi attractions, networking events with decision-makers, and hands-on demonstrations of new technology and operational practices.
