Registration opens for WWA Symposium and Trade Show at Disney World
POSTED 10 May 2019 . BY Tom Anstey
Taking place from 7-10 October, registration for the event is now open, with a huge lineup set for this year's show
The World Waterpark Association will hold its 39th Annual Symposium and Trade Show – the largest waterpark show in the world – at the Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Taking place from 7-10 October, registration for the event is now open, with a huge lineup set for this year's show.

In addition to networking events at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and the soon-to-open H20 Live! at the nearby Margaritaville Resort, the events programme will feature more than 40 breakout sessions, workshops and roundtables, with speakers including some of the waterpark industry's top names.

Among them, Eric Chester – a best-selling author and leading authority on workplace culture, employee engagement, and Generation Why (a term he created for people born after 1980) – is set to deliver a keynote on what it takes to hire and motivate great employees.

On top of these events and speakers, the show's trade show floor will feature the greatest number of waterpark exhibitors at anywhere in the world, with more than 300 booths set to offer the top products and services the sector has to offer.
