IAAPA breaks records for AAE 2016, announces 2017 event for Singapore
POSTED 16 Jun 2016 . BY Tom Anstey
2017's event will take place at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore
After hosting a record-breaking Asian Attractions Expo (AAE) in Shanghai, IAAPA has announced the event will move to Singapore in 2017, taking place at the Sands Expo and Convention Center at Marina Bay Sands.

Attracting 11,500 participants and, for the sixth consecutive year, breaking records for the number of exhibitors and size of its tradeshow floor, this year’s AAE offered a host of educational programmes, networking events and tours of Shanghai attractions, including the newly-opened Disneyland Shanghai.

Taking place 13-16 June 2017, next year’s event will welcome in excess of 8,000 people gathering to test, taste, try, and buy the latest innovations, learn best practices from global leaders on topics essential to successful operations, and network with colleagues from more than 65 countries.

Ranked as one of the top convention destinations in Asia, Singapore also offers a host of existing and upcoming world-class attractions.

"We are excited to host Asian Attractions Expo in Singapore again," said June Ko, IAAPA vice president of Asia Pacific Operations. "Marina Bay Sands offers great convention facilities, and our global participants look forward to experiencing all Singapore has to offer."
