 Another Great Idea
Imagine walking into a world-class facility and getting the chance to sit down and chat with the CEO. Think of all the ideas and business insight you’d take away.
You can do just that at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2011. Over several days of education, networking, and special events, top-level CEOs and business owners will be imparting their visions, best practices, and lessons learned before thousands of attendees. And I hope you’ll be there, too.
Among the stellar lineup of industry talent is Jim Atchison, president and CEO of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment; Joel Manby, CEO of Herschend Family Entertainment; Jim Reid-Anderson, CEO of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation; and Kim Shaefer, CEO of Great Wolf Resorts.
 Additionally, Pat Koch, director of values at family-owned park Holiday World, will share the business initiatives and customer service ethos that make the park successful and growing attendance year after year. Plus, Disney Legends Marty Sklar, Dick Nunis, and Jack Lindquist share stories and practices from their days in the industry that can still be applied today.
These excellent industry minds contribute to the outstanding lineup of education tracks, targeted Institute programs, behind-the-scenes tours, and networking events that comprise what will be one of the most exciting idea-packed Expos we’ve ever seen.
Don’t miss out on bringing the best ideas from the best in the business to your business!
Sincerely,
Bob Rippy, Chairman of the Board
