IAAPA Expo Europe 2023 with Jo Pools

As our podcast team prepares to head to Orlando for the IAAPA Expo, co-host John Davidson took a moment to look back on the IAAPA Europe Expo in Amsterdam that took place this September.

ACE Europe Regional Representative Jo Pools joins co-host John Davidson for a lively discussion of European theme parks, upcoming ACE Europe events and the Expo.

In this episode:

• [01:52] IAPPA Europe is in the books, Jo talks about some European rides and parks
• [08:15] More about the Expo
• [16:18] All of the major manufacturers were at the show

• [27:50] Jo’s role on the International Planning Committee (hints about next year’s ACE Europe trip)
