The IAAPA Institute for Indoor Entertainment Professionals is designed for new owners/operators to the Indoor  Entertainment Center sector, offering a fast-track introduction to the essentials of operating and managing indoor entertainment attractions.

The IAAPA Safety Institute is a one-day program designed for professionals in operations, maintenance, and safety who are new to the industry, are interested in cross-departmental development, or are seeking a foundational understanding of safety culture, maintenance, and operational best practices. 

Taking place after IAAPA Expo Middle East in Abu Dhabi, this program offers a unique chance to strengthen your foundation in safe operations while supporting a culture of safety across the attractions and entertainment industry.

Theme parks and attractions have mastered immersion. But what happens after the ride ends or the show lets out? Today’s guests expect that same sense of magic, interactivity, and wonder to continue inside your attraction’s retail spaces. 

Traditional retail principles aren’t enough. Shelf space alone can’t compete with screen space or destination experiences.
