IAAPA - Shanghai 2025 Ends Perfectly

The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), founded in 1918, is the global leader in the attractions and amusement industry.    It connects more than 6,800 members across over 100 countries, uniting theme parks, family entertainment centers, water parks, arcade machine companies, and suppliers under one network.

IAAPA began in the United States but has expanded its reach worldwide over the past century.    Its milestones include the creation of regional expos, the launch of safety and education programs, and setting international standards for attractions.

Today, IAAPA supports a diverse network of members—from arcade games manufacturers to theme park operators, coin pusher manufacturers, FEC owners, and designers.

IAAPA organizes four major trade shows around the globe:
IAAPA Expo (Orlando, USA)
IAAPA Expo Europe (Barcelona, Spain)
IAAPA Expo Asia (Shanghai, China)
IAAPA Middle East Trade Summit (various cities)

These expos provide platforms for the industry’s top brands to debut new products, explore cooperation, and engage in global networking.

IAAPA Expo Asia 2025 was held in Shanghai from June 30 to July 3.    The event attracted over 8,000 professionals from 85+ countries, with more than 350 exhibitors.    Participants included operators, developers, redemption machine manufacturers, arcade machine companies, and coin pusher machine suppliers, all seeking new business opp+ortunities and technology breakthroughs.

The show floor featured world-renowned brands including SEGA, RAW THRILLS, ELAUT, Bandai Namco, and others—brands that consistently attend IAAPA to unveil the newest entertainment experiences and boost international business connections.

IAAPA is not just an exhibition—it's a knowledge hub.    In Shanghai 2025, attendees had access to educational programs such as leadership breakfasts, safety institutes, EDUTours to LEGOLAND and Disneyland, and keynote talks by industry leaders from Disney Parks, Trip.com, and others.

These sessions help arcade games manufacturers and coin pusher manufacturers enhance product design, operational efficiency, and guest experience through international best practices.

With over a century of industry leadership, IAAPA plays a vital role in uniting different sectors of the attractions industry.    It provides:
Global networking opportunities
Market trend forecasts
Research-backed safety standards
Professional certification programs

Whether you are a redemption machine manufacturer, a coin pusher machine supplier, water park owner or a theme park proprietor, IAAPA remains an irreplaceable resource and platform.
