Registration for this year’s IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, Florida, is now open, with the event to highlight key trends and experiences set to take the sector by storm in the not-too-distant future.

With more than 30,000 industry professionals expected to attend, including 20,000 buyers coming from more than 100 countries, this year’s theme is ‘Every Experience Matters’, with more than 80 educational sessions lined up to explore this.

The trade show floor will cover over 550,000sq ft (51,000sq m), with more than 1,000 companies set to exhibit their latest projects and cutting-edge innovations from 125 categories. VR featured heavily at last year’s show and could be a mainstay again as the medium continues to expand in 2016.

International attractions industry leaders, decision-makers, and trendsetters from across multiple sectors, including manufacturers and suppliers, and the owners and operators of theme and amusement parks, waterparks, FECs, zoos, aquariums, science centres, museums, resorts, and more, will be on-hand at the event.

The IAAPA Attractions Expo 2016 takes place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando from 14 November to 18 November. For more information and to register, click here.
