Reflecting on an unforgettable first experience at IAAPA North America !
A huge thank you to Imagine for sending me to this incredible event. As my first themed entertainment expo of this scale, it was a whirlwind of learning, inspiration, and awe. The work being done in this industry to create unforgettable, immersive experiences is nothing short of magical.
Photos can only capture a fraction of what I experienced, but here are a few highlights:
✨ Attending the most epic opening ceremony
✨ Diving into learning sessions like Transforming IP into Tangible Magic: The Art of Immersive Attractions and Dancing Across Disciplinary Boundaries to Create Immersive Experiences
✨ Reconnecting in person with NeoPangea, First Ascent , and Capturelife, Inc. partners
✨ Meeting the legendary Steve Axtell (puppetry icon!)
This week reminded me why I love working in this field: the energy, creativity, and commitment to delivering moments of magic for people everywhere. It’s an honor to be a part of this industry, and I can’t wait to see how we continue to push boundaries and inspire wonder.
Here’s to more learning, creating, and imagining! Until next time, IAAPA...
