Alexandria, VA, USA (Sept. 16, 2014) – The IAAPA Leadership Conference 2015 program will take top industry professionals behind the glitz and glamour of Dubai’s attractions to discover how a deep-seeded culture of service has enabled area amusement parks, water parks, and more to grow into a world-renowned leisure destination. The conference will take place 10-12 March 2015 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and online registration is now open.

Attractions industry leaders from around the world will learn from real-life examples of how facilities have built great customer experiences by defining a strategy, integrating technology, taking a disciplined approach to brand management, and ensuring staff commitment to excellence.
