For us here in North America, summer has arrived! Even though you might be head down, focused on the next few months, it’s still important to look toward the future and understand the growth of new attractions, technology, and consumer patterns that will affect your business.
Your IAAPA FEC committee is working hard to put the finishing touches on sessions during IAAPA Expo this November in Orlando, Florida that will focus on the state of the industry, new trends in virtual reality and augmented reality (see below), and big data. Registration to IAAPA Expo has just opened. Register early and save up to 40%, and then take some time to plan your visit and review all the great sessions available for you.
Don’t forget to register for IAAPA Expo Europe this September in Paris, France. The team has an amazing day of learning planned for Indoor Entertainment Day on Monday, Sept. 16 designed for indoor playgrounds, small parks, and FECs.
We’re always looking for new ideas and presentations. Please let us know if you have anything to share or want to learn more about a particular topic.
Have a great summer!
Christine Buhr is the chair of the IAAPA FEC Committee and owner of Shakers Fun Centre in Calgary, Alberta.
