About This Event

IAAPA Expo 2026, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo, returns to Orlando, United States from 16 November 2026 to 20 November 2026, bringing the conference community together. Drawing speakers and delegates from around the world, it offers a focused platform for learning and connection. On an annual cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. It is staged by International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, whose experience shows in every detail of the programme. Orange County Convention Center sets the scene, offering modern halls and comfortable meeting spaces.

Set against the backdrop of Orlando, IAAPA Expo 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Orlando is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in United States is rarely a hassle. Accommodation ranges from business hotels near the venue to characterful stays in the centre, suiting every budget. Once the day wraps up, Orlando has no shortage of restaurants, sights and things to do. Within United States, Orlando stands out as a hub for business, trade and professional gatherings.

The agenda brings together Amusement Parks, Visitor Attractions, Theme Parks, Family Entertainment Centers, Water Parks, Entertainment Industry and Attractions & Entertainment, connecting expert speakers with an engaged professional audience. There is plenty for everyone, from headline talks to intimate workshop spaces. Visitors will meet 1100+ exhibitors ready to demonstrate what comes next for the sector.

Few events pack so much insight, opportunity and inspiration into so few days. IAAPA Expo 2026 remains a key fixture for decision-makers, specialists and curious newcomers alike, and an edition worth marking on the calendar.
