A successful 2005 Euro Amusement Show (EAS) came to a close on Monday, having welcomed more than 7,200* attendees to the four-day event.

A joint partnership between the European Association for the Amusement Supplier Industry (EAASI) and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), the EAS is the region’s largest amusement and attractions trade show. Now in its fifth year, the 2005 edition took place at the Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center in Vienna, Austria, January 28-31.

The event’s 250* exhibitors reported steady buyer traffic amongst the more than 8,600* net square meters of exhibit space, featuring the industry’s latest rides, games, and food. The comprehensive educational program of seminars, keynotes, and tours was equally well-attended and well-received.

Special events proved popular as well, including over 1,000* attendees at Friday night’s Welcome Reception and more than 750* guests at the fabulous Viennese Gala on Saturday evening.


The Euro Amusement Show will return to the Messe Wien in 2006, February 3-6.
