Every day we hear from more and more exhibitors about their unique products and their excitement for the 2005 showcase of new products or services, said J. Clark Robinson, president and CEO of IAAPA. It definitely fuels the excitement and energy the IAAPA staff is putting forth as we organize and prepare for the world`s largest gathering of amusement industry professionals.

Atlanta , Georgia , will host the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2005 in the popular downtown area of the metropolis city known for sophistication with southern charm. The November show dates provide a true feeling of autumn as temperatures average 66 high and 44 low. Additionally, the IAAPA Attractions Expo is within walking distance of restaurants, outdoor parks, concert venues and more.
