On Tuesday and Wednesday, trade show attendees can participate in various seminars. Tuesday seminars will focus on the latest social media tools like location-based applications currently being implemented by some attractions. Attendees can learn the results of a study on the impact of fancommunities and also hear success stories regarding the use of intellectual property in the theme park industry.

Sessions held on Wednesday will feature the fourth edition of the IAAPA Europe Safety Seminar. Experts will discuss the latest information on ride safety, ride safety legislation, and health issues. Afternoon topics include human resource challenges and the latest management techniques to recruit, train, and retain employees. The day will conclude with the Waterpark Forum. All of these seminars are open to trade show attendees free of charge. Registration is not necessary; however, space is limited and seats will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

For the second time EAS will host the Theme Park Legends seminar. John Collins, (Pleasure Park, Madame Tussauds, etc.), Colin Dawson (Thorpe Park, BALPPA) and Olivier de Bosredon (Parc Astérix, Grevin et Cie) will tell their stories, discuss their successes, discuss the present state and future of the attractions industry.

In addition, Thursday sessions will be devoted to family entertainment centers and indoor playgrounds. The Play Providers Association, in conjunction with IAAPA, will host the Play Providers Conference and the ASPIRE Awards, the centre piece of the annual indoor play calendar (a separate registration is required).

On Tuesday evening, attendees can participate in the EAS Welcome Reception at the Olympia Exhibition Centre and the Young Professional Reception hosted for the upcoming attractions industry managers at Pembrooke Pub.

The EAS Gala, at the Royal Courts of Justice, on Wednesday 28 September, will offer participants a
relaxed atmosphere to connect with colleagues. All networking events require a separate ticket.
