IAAPA is now only a week away and I am excited to see what all the laser tag manufacturers are bringing to the table this year! As you can see, I have got my game plan ready to go!
So it seems like a good time to share my personal top five tips for maneuvering through the week in Orlando.
I cannot stress strongly enough that printing the map in advance and working out a plan of priority is such a help! Yes, I know there is a map on the app, but I find enlarging it on a photocopier and having a hard copy on hand is a tremendous asset, both for advanced planning and once you are actually on the grounds.
Comfortable shoes! This may not be a “practice what you preach” tip for me (as I will be wearing pantsuits all week), but I DO wear flats and if you are able to wear a sneaker with your travel clothes then more power to you. The hall is very large and you will be doing A LOT of walking!
Take photos of anything that interests you. Obviously as a blogger I will be reporting back with photos and videos to share the latest laser tag innovations I see, but whatever catches your own interest, it’s a good idea to take photos of the booth name and the feature so you can refer back to it easily later on.
Business cards…trade them liberally! Pick up lots of new business cards, pass out your own cards and network. It amazes me how many people I have met through IAAPA who have become wonderful industry friends! This is such a great place to grow your circle of contacts.
Play! Meaning try out lots of different attractions (even the ones you don’t think you are shopping for). Experience new things, try all the samples and leave with a wider perspective of what is new and cool.
IAAPA is such a wonderful opportunity to meet people from all ends of the amusement industry. On my map any booth that is marked in blue is on my “must see” list, but I look forward to everything IAAPA has to offer and can’t wait to see all the friends I know will be there working hard to continue to grow the laser tag industry and keep the game advancing and thriving!
