Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   IAAPA Expo 2024 will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL from November 18th to the 22nd. The expo’s trade show floor alone includes nine miles of aisles of exhibitors from every corner of the attractions industry - from ride manufacturers, ticketing software, games, retail, the latest in food and beverage options, and much more. When it comes to education, the expo packs a wide variety of sessions that cover topics from guest and employee experience, safety, security, revenue growth, and again… much more. The events, occurring throughout the days and evenings are excellent networking opportunities that also allow for the enjoyment of area attractions.  Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned attendee, the expo can be overwhelming, given the sheer number of options for where to go and what to do.   For the last few years, AttractionPros has published a guide with tips and tricks, and this year, we collected submissions, tips and advice from our audience. In this episode, Matt and Josh share a handful of submissions received, as well as their own guidance to have a successful show, based on years of experience attending.   Download the full IAAPA Expo 2024 Thrival Guide here   And if you’ll be at the expo, join us at our AttractionPros Meetup!
