Viva Las Vegas
Those grumbling about Atlanta as a choice of venue in 2005/6 will no doubt be relieved to see the IAAPA Attractions Expo return to Orlando next year, but looking further ahead there is an equally exciting prospect on the cards for 2009: Las Vegas.
During the past decade, the industry’s largest trade show has visited Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans and Orlando, but now IAAPA has announced a new, long-term plan for a two-city, East Coast/West Coast rotation. The association looked at Las Vegas previously, but the space simply wasn’t available because of an electronics show, which has now departed.
“Las Vegas and Orlando are international travel destinations and we think buyers will make an extra effort to attend,” reckons Jim Seay of Premier Rides, and chairman of IAAPA’s manufacturers and suppliers committee. We’ll probably see people on the trade show floor we’ve never seen before.”
