Success for the 2012 IAAPA Leadership Conference

Update : 21:47 Published by François Mayné the 8 March 2012, Event.

One hundred and eighty six industry leaders from 23 countries participated in the second annual International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Leadership Conference, held last week in Los Angeles, California. The figure represents a 10% increase over the number of participants in 2011. Attractions industry leaders and managers experienced two and half days of out of the classroom learning at area IAAPA member locations and heard insights from industry veteran Al Weber Jr., Ph.D., COO of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.

During the event IAAPA announced the IAAPA Leadership Conference 2013 will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in early March.

“The Leadership Conference was a great success,” said IAAPA Chairman and Managing Partner of Europa Park Roland Mack . “We had top representatives of all regions of our industry together and experienced a warm and open-minded welcome in all the businesses we visited. The possibility to exchange thoughts and ideas on an international level is much appreciated by our members.”

Al Weber, Jr., COO of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, addresses 2012 IAAPA Leadership Conference participants at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.

Technifex in Valencia, California provides a firsthand lesson in special effects during the 2012 IAAPA Leadership Conference.

The IAAPA Leadership Conference brings together attractions facility and supplier company owners, CEOs, GMs, directors, and managers for firsthand learning and exclusive networking opportunities. This year participants experienced revolutionary technology and new rides and attractions, and discovered different ideas to establish successful business partnerships. Host facilities for this year’s event included: Universal Studios Hollywood, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Technifex, Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier, California Science Center, and The Disneyland Resort.

American Locker, Chance Rides, Freeman, Jack Rouse Associates, Premier Rides, The Producers Group, and Vekoma Rides were 2012 IAAPA Leadership Conference sponsors.

IAAPA Third Vice Chair Gerardo Arteaga Cerda of Fantasilandia, Chile, is excited to take the conference to Latin America in 2013. “We have an opportunity to show what’s been happening in Latin America, and get people more involved,” said Arteaga. “It will be a good chance for manufacturers to learn more about our market, as well.”

Additional announcements including specific dates and tour locations for the IAAPA Leadership Conference 2013 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, next March will be available at www.iaapa.org in the weeks ahead. The conference will take place in conjunction with the 2013 IAAPA Latin American Regional Networking event.
