IAAPA Attractions Expo 2012 space allocation
breaks record
Update : 25/04/12 - 19h06Published by François Mayné the 24 April 2012, Event.
IAAPA Attractions Expo, recognized as one of the Top 25 fast-growth trade shows in the United States by EXPO magazine, had a record 724 companies assigned to the trade show floor during the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Space Allocation Committee meeting, held April 12-13. The committee assigned a record 371,000 net square feet (about 34,470 square meters) of exhibit space at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, which will host IAAPA Attractions Expo 2012 from Nov. 12-16.
“The fact that 80 percent of the trade show floor is sold seven months prior to the event is a testament to the quality of the Expo,” said Jeff Hudson, IAAPA Space Allocation Committee Chair and president of Skee Ball Inc. “People in the attractions industry know that to stay competitive and get ahead in this business, IAAPA Attractions Expo is a must-attend event.”
The trade show floor this year is expected to span approximately 458,000 net square feet (45,550 square meters) with more than 1,100 companies displaying products and services in more than 100 categories, including rides (dry and water), games and devices, play equipment, inflatables, novelties and souvenirs, food and beverage, displays and sets, and more.
