CONFERENCE
CHANGING THE ATTRACTION CONFERENCE LANDSCAPE BY GOING VIRTUAL
AAVEA has hosted an annual two day conference, generally at attraction sites around South Africa, since 2014. The popular programme of each conference is focussed on inspiring our participants with insightful presentations from keynote international attractions professionals, panel discussions with local attractions managers, breakaway groups for practical idea sharing and networking with colleagues.
For some insight into our 2021 Conference, here’s Sabine Lehmann, AAVEA Executive Director.
