IAAPA Expo Asia 2026 brings more than 300 exhibitors to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 9 to 12 June, with new education formats and a first-ever Asia-Pacific scholarship programme.
IAAPA Expo Asia 2026 opens next week at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, connecting executives from theme parks, integrated resorts, water parks, family entertainment centres and technology companies across the region. It is the most significant gathering in the Asia-Pacific attractions calendar, and for many operators it marks their first major face-to-face sourcing opportunity of the year.
Education sessions run across all four days, 9-12 June, with the trade show floor opening from 10 June. More than 300 exhibitors will present, covering attractions technology, guest experience, design and operations. A new Connections Hub provides a dedicated space for structured networking alongside the main exhibition.
The IAAPA Foundation debuts its first Asia-Pacific scholarship programme at this year’s event, in partnership with Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU). Students from HKMU’s attraction management programme have developed projects focused on guest experience, sustainability and business performance. A winning group, selected by HKMU faculty and IAAPA representatives, will be presented with the scholarship on the final day of the show.
Registered delegates can tour Ocean Park Hong Kong to explore conservation and sustainability work, visit the family entertainment centre Kidztopia, and see Kai Tak Sports Park. The Opening Reception takes place at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. An optional post-show tour to Qingyuan Chimelong International Forest Resort runs 13-14 June, giving delegates access to a large-scale integrated resort development in mainland China.
This year’s event carries the theme ‘Pursue the Wonder’. With IAAPA Expo Asia 2026 drawing professionals from across the region – and beyond – the Hong Kong edition arrives as capital investment in Asian attractions continues to accelerate.
