The annual IAAPA Europe Spring Forum is this year taking place at Vialand and Kidzania in Istanbul, Turkey, between 21-22 May.

Attractions industry professionals from Europe, with a particular focus on members from Eastern Europe, will gather to network and share ideas. Vialand will host participants and offer behind-the-scenes tours of its multi-entertainment facility.

"We chose Turkey because it represents some of the most interesting developments in Eastern Europe,” commented Karen Staley, vice-president of IAAPA European operations. “Participants will take part in a seminar about emerging markets that will highlight the major developments in Turkey and other Eastern European countries.”

High on the agenda will be safety, with discussion about the latest information on ISO and EN standards set to take place.

One of many events IAAPA organises around the world, the IAAPA Europe Spring Forum 2015 will feature representatives from attraction and water parks, zoos, aquariums, family entertainment centres, museums, shopping centres, casinos, and music centres. Attractions industry manufacturer and supplier companies will also be present.
