The Themed Experience and Attractions Academic Symposium is held annually in November on the last Friday of the IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) Expo in Orlando Florida. Our fourth Symposium was Friday, November 19th at the Orange County Convention Center. The Themed Experience and Attractions Academic Symposium is providing opportunities for paper presentations, academic panels, networking, academic poster discussions and keynote presentations. This year the TEAAS partnered with the Symposium on Education in Entertainment and Engineering for our afternoon programming. The Symposium is made possible by the generous sponsorship and support of IAAPA and the dedicated volunteers at the academic society
