The International Association of Trampoline Parks held its seventh conference and trade show at the New Orleans Marriott Hotel, Louisiana, US, from September 23-25, welcoming over 500 trampoline park owners, operators and suppliers.

IATP introduces certification programme

Highlights of the event include the first trampoline court inspector certification programme, developed by IATP. Attendees who met eligibility requirements participated in a peer review session and attended an offsite trampoline park interactive walkthrough will receive recognition as an approved IATP service corporation trampoline court inspector.

By 2021, IATP members will be required to pass a third-party inspection that meets the minimum identified requirements of the programme conducted by an approved inspector.

The event enhanced its members’ benefits this year, announcing an insurance solution for all members worldwide.

There were greater training opportunities at this year's event, offering rebound therapy training and certification, which provides trampoline parks with the ability to open their parks to guests with disabilities. Soon, the trade association will launch an online court monitor training programme offering additional resources and training opportunities.
