IAAPA to present Middle East Summit in Dubai in February

Looking to celebrate and highlight the growing attractions industry in Dubai and the wider Arabian Gulf region, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) will be presenting the IAAPA Middle East Summit 2022 from 21st to 23rd February 2022.

The three-day conference will include education sessions, site tours and visits to area attractions, with attendees having the opportunity to visit landmark area attractions and be provided with unique networking experiences.

Delivered by the IAAPA regional team representing Europe, the Middle East and Africa, speakers at the Summit include leaders from some of the Middle East’s top parks and attractions.

The line up is slated to include Atlantis Dubai General Manager and Senior Vice President, Tom Roelens; Ain Dubai General Manager Ronald Drake; Expo 2020 Dubai Senior Vice President of Operations Clive Stephens; and Museum of the Future Executive Director Lāth Carlson and Creative Director Brendan McGetrick.

Mindful of attendee safety, the IAAPA Middle East Summit event team will be working together with partners at scheduled venues to follow the latest guidance and recommendations for groups and networking from both UAE and global health jurisdictions.

IAAPA has also announced that its major trade show and conference, held in the USA each November, will now be known as the IAAPA Expo.
