The Institute for Attractions Executives (IAE) offers a unique opportunity for owners, CEOs, and senior-level leaders in the global attractions industry to broaden their strategic leadership skills. This exclusive program was developed specifically for IAAPA and the attractions industry and focuses on organizational change rather than individual development. This innovative structure provides networking and learning opportunities in a classroom setting as well as in the field.
In Orlando, join San Diego State University professors as they examine leadership and engagement in the attractions industry through lectures, small group projects, and special events.
