Young Professional Webinar and Exchange: IAAPA Expo Europe 2021

So there you are, you finally arrived on the IAAPA Expo showroom floor. Armed with multiple copies of your resume, freshly printed business cards, your lucky outfit, a sparkling smile, you're ready to rock. But how do I get noticed in a good way? Will my resume stand out? How do I ask for an internship position or how do I land my first job interview? As a student, how do I get the most out of the IAAPA Expo Europe?

As with everything in life, preparation is the key to success! And right in time for your (first) IAAPA Expo Europe visit, the Young Professionals Subcommittee invites you to their next Webinar + Exchange that will be entirely focused on how you can make yourself stand out in a professional and memorable way.

Find out what CEOs and recruiters are actually paying attention to when you fire off your well-rehearsed elevator pitch and follow in the footsteps of former students turned Young Professionals as they share their experiences of how they landed their first job or internship and how they managed to use the many opportunities offered by IAAPA to their advantage.

As the icing on the cake, the webinar is followed by an online speed networking session, so you can immediately put your newly learned skills into practice!

This online event will take place on Monday, the 6th of September, starting at 17:30 CEST and ending at 19:15 CEST. Registration is complimentary, but mandatory.

Glenn Homburg

Marketing Manager BeNeLux-France
Phantasialand

Glenn Homburg has been Marketing Manager for the Benelux and France regions at Phantasialand for almost five years, boosting visitor numbers from outside of Germany. Although he graduated with a master’s degree in industrial engineering at the KU Leuven, he felt that something vital was missing in his technical skill set and pursued a second master’s in management. His experience in the marketing department of one of Europe’s leading theme parks allowed him to acquire the business acumen and commercial skills needed to better understand the multifaceted corporate landscape in which themed entertainment projects are nested. In addition, he is a strong advocate of employee-empowering and intent-based leadership. Glenn has been keen on supporting IAAPA as a Senior Show Ambassador during multiple IAAPA Expos and currently serves on the IAAPA Young Professionals Subcommittee to develop the industry's next generation of leaders.
