Our team has years of IAAPA experience, and we’re sharing our top tips from each team member to help you make the most of every moment at the expo.
TIP #1 Pre-Book, Plan, and Prioritize
- Daniel Littlepage, Chief Growth Officer
“IAAPA is a whirlwind event, with so many sessions, booths, and demos that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. My advice? Plan ahead! Pre-book appointments with key exhibitors early on. I also recommend using the IAAPA app to bookmark the exhibitors and sessions that align with your goals. This way, you’ll have a prioritized schedule and a mapped-out day. Trust me, this makes a big difference!”

TIP #2 Know Your Space: Measure Up Before the Expo
- Jeremy Paige, Commercial Partnerships Director
“If you’re attending IAAPA to scout new attractions, come prepared with measurements of your venue’s spaces. Many vendors can tailor options to fit your exact setup, and having those dimensions on hand will make your conversations more productive. With the right specs, you’ll be able to explore options and buy with confidence, knowing they’ll be a perfect fit for your needs."
TIP #3 Keep Comfortable, Stay Energized!
- Annie Parker, Venue Development Manager
“IAAPA is exciting but also physically demanding! To keep up with the pace, wear comfortable shoes and pack essentials like a refillable water bottle, snacks, and a power bank. I also recommend planning short breaks to recharge, both physically and mentally."
TIP #4 Divide Tasks, Unite on Decisions
- James Zlatkin, Product Manager
“I’ve found that attending IAAPA with business partners or colleagues is the best way to make the most of your time. By dividing tasks, you can cover more ground efficiently—splitting up to explore different booths and sessions. After gathering insights, regroup to review and shortlist potential products together, and then revisit key booths as a team to make confident, united decisions."
TIP #5 Ask About Exclusive Show Deals!
- Alberto Marcos, Venue Development Manager
"Most IAAPA exhibitors offer exclusive deals, often valid only during the show. These can include discounts or added-value perks, so go prepared to commit to buying at the expo for the best possible deal. The beauty of a show like IAAPA is the rare opportunity to meet multiple vendors face-to-face, experience hands-on demos, and secure products for the best possible price."
TIP #6 Leverage Insights and Reconnect Post-Show
- Nacho Alvarez, Venue Development Manager
“When IAAPA ends, the real work begins! Organize your contacts and review insights from educational sessions. Reconnect while interactions are still fresh, and share your takeaways with your team back home. Implementing new ideas from the expo and nurturing relationships formed there can make a lasting impact—don’t let those valuable insights go to waste.”
