More Than 7,200 Attend a Successful EAS 2005

 

Jan. 31, 2005 – A successful 2005 Euro Amusement Show (EAS) came to a close on Monday, having welcomed more than 7,200* attendees to the four-day event.

A joint partnership between the European Association for the Amusement Supplier Industry (EAASI) and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions ( IAAPA), the EAS is the region’s largest amusement and attractions trade show.   Now in its fifth year, the 2005 edition took place at the Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center in Vienna, Austria, January 28-31.

The event’s 250* exhibitors reported steady buyer traffic amongst the more than 8,600* net square meters of exhibit space, featuring the industry’s latest rides, games, and food.   The comprehensive educational program of seminars, keynotes, and tours was equally well-attended and well-received.

Special events proved popular as well, including over 1,000* attendees at Friday night’s Welcome Reception and more than 750* guests at the fabulous Viennese Gala on Saturday evening.

The Euro Amusement Show will return to the Messe Wien in 2006, February 3-6.
