This month’s IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, Florida, will be a record breaker, the organisers have announced.

Taking place at the Orange County Convention Center on November 18-22, the event is to feature more square footage of exhibition space than any previous edition of the show.

On Thursday, IAAPA confirmed that 1,100 companies – 10 per cent of which are to make their show debut – have signed up to exhibit, meaning the show floor will cover 522,000sq.ft.

The indoor space at the convention centre’s north and south halls is now completely sold out and the outdoor exhibit space is the largest in the show’s history.

“Wear your comfortable shoes,” advised IAAPA president and CEO Paul Noland. “There are too many business-building ideas to count in the nine miles of aisles at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013.

“Get ready to take full advantage of the new innovations, learning opportunities and networking experiences the expo has to offer.”
