Tim mentioned something about non members, he didn't describe it well, which made me look into it more.So, it would cost a non-member $500 to go? Yikes.
And you can't be a member unless you're an Attractions Professional (or young professional, educator, or student, etc.). Am I reading that right?
I swear that David Martin, who goes every year and shows it on Fox35, just was there on camera saying it's not open to the public.
They must like to keep that $500 non-member admission VERY quiet.
I can't tell how much IAAPA looks into whether you really are in the attractions business. Let's use the example of I'm the president of the PTO/Boosters for my school or little league president (I was at one point, but I'm not) and I'm interested in the dippin dots or pretzels or something like that for my school's athletic department. He specifically showed the $85,000 pretzel trailer for sale. I'm not in the "attractions" industry but I could spin that job into something where my football/baseball games attract a large crowd of people and in that role I have a genuine interest in the food booth offerings. I'm not creating a login to find out how much they vet your attraction industry credentials.
