Less than two weeks away from the giant IAAPA trade show in Orlando, Florida, US (November 15-18), the event has now been hailed as the largest show in the association’s 98-year history.

IAAPA reaches record size

The 2016 event will beat the previous record of 568,800sq.ft,  which was set in 2001. More than a thousand exhibitors will take part in the show, including 200 showing for the first time. They will take part in 125 different categories, mostly targeting the theme parks business, but with a strong family entertainment centre – and therefore coin-operated – content.

It is expected that around 30,000 professionals from the amusement and entertainment business will visit the show at the Orange County Convention Center.
