International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions (IAAPA)

As most of you may not know, my company acquired another company last January, adding the Sports side to the Entertainment Division, thus making us the Sports & Entertainment Divison. Part of this division caters to the Stadium, Parks and Arena market - i.e. Disney World, Six Flags, water parks and lots of professional stadiums (sadly Lambeau Field is not one of our clients). This past week I was off to Orlando, yes again, to attend the IAAPA trade show (see full name in the blog title, its too long to retype). This show was incredible. It took up the entire Orange County Convention Center, which is just ridiculously huge. If its in a theme park or water park it was at this show, making it a week long carnival for me :) I ate Dip n' Dots everyday, road a 4D ride, took a spin in a flight simulator and had a funnel cake and an Icey. Tough job, but someone's got to do it.
