Trampoline suppliers and operators from 25 countries attended the fourth annual conference and trade show of the International Association of Trampoline Parks, held in Nashville, in the US state of Tennessee, from September 13-15.
The organisation hailed the event as a great success, and evidence of the global growth of the indoor trampoline park industry. The event was accompanied by a number of seminars that covered legislative and regulatory matters, risk management, operations, insurance and methods to expand the increase revenue through group sales and added attractions.
The incoming chairman, David Schaeffer, commented: “As the association continues to grow, we will continue to raise the bar for our industry. It is imperative that we set a precedent on how to own and operate a successful indoor trampoline park facility.
“Industry growth is important, but in order to achieve real longevity our industry must grow safely and in a manageable manner. We feel it is the mission of the IATP to provide the necessary education and resources to accomplish this goal, and we plan to do so.”
