With a trade show floor spanning nearly 10,000 metre² of exhibit space, more than 300 companies are set to showcase their new products and services at the 2017 Asian Attractions Expo (AAE).
Taking place from 13th to 16th June at The Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore, with the show floor open from 14th to 16th June, the event is the premier international conference and trade show for the attractions industry in the Asia-Pacific region, and is owned and produced by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA).
