IAAPA Expo Asia 2025 concluded today at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), bringing together the global attractions industry for three dynamic days of networking, innovation, and inspiration. The vibrant setting welcomed 7,093 verified attendees out of 8,016 registered, all eager to explore the future of attractions and entertainment. The trade show floor also welcomed 5,651 qualified buyers representing 85 countries.
With more than 350 exhibiting companies, the show floor served as a hub of activity and discovery, showcasing cutting-edge products, services, and technologies shaping the industry's future.
This year’s theme, “Find Possible,” came to life through thoughtfully curated programming designed to inspire creativity and push boundaries. Attendees took part in thought-provoking education sessions, exclusive networking events, and one-of-a-kind EDUTour experiences that fostered meaningful insights and forward-thinking ideas.
Notable highlights from the week included the high-energy Opening Ceremony, the unforgettable Opening Reception at Shanghai Disneyland, and a behind-the-scenes EDUTour of the newly built LEGOLAND Shanghai. The Expo also welcomed influential voices from the industry, including Jill Estorino, President and Managing Director, Disney Parks International, and Cecilia Qin, Vice President of Trip.com Group, the world’s second-largest online travel agency.
