Annual recognition
Martin Palicki, IPM publisher
This issue is full of doubles! In addition to being The Dubai Double (see Judy’s editorial), we are presenting a special collection of articles highlighting the TEA Summit and Thea Awards. They are two action-packed events taking place April 5-7 at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
The Theas and Summit also do double duty. In addition to providing a forum for professional growth and development, the events also provide a critical opportunity to network with industry colleagues, both vendors and operators.
This issue, with its highlight on Thea projects and info on the Summit, will be distributed to every attendee at the Summit. InPark will also be there, covering the events, snapping photos and doing a little networking of our own.
TEA’s events are a valuable tool for professionals to keep their finger on the pulse of the industry, but they are also a resource we at InPark use to help identify key stories for the balance of the year, so if you have ideas to share, be sure to look for us during the TEA Summit or Thea Awards Gala.
