“The 2012 IAAPA Leadership Conference will bring together a cross-section of attractions industry professionals for non-traditional, firsthand educational experiences,” said Chip Cleary, IAAPA President and CEO. “The environment will allow everyone, from seasoned owners to first-time managers, to learn from one another through hands-on activities, idea sharing, best practices exchange, and industry discussions.”
Al Weber Jr., will deliver a keynote lunch address Thursday, Feb. 23, at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Weber will address how Six Flags is recapturing its industry leadership position and delivering record profit performance. He will also offer a first-hand insider’s perspective on how to successfully manage through transition.
