Direct Access Consultancy LLC is delighted to announce that our Director of Strategic Partnerships, Steve Dering, will be on a panel discussing accessibility for IAAPA at the IAAPA Middle East Trade Summit in Abu Dhabi from the 22th to the 24th January – an event that presents a unique opportunity to network with local stakeholders and learn about the latest trends in the attractions and entertainment industry in the region. 

Following a successful trade summit in Riyadh last year, this year’s event will be held on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Steve will be one of many speakers who will gather to promote awareness, and understanding, and engage in meaningful dialogue around the topics of diversity, inclusion, and equity within entertainment. The panel also includes representatives of Dubai Holding Entertainment, SEVEN, Miral Experiences, and various others.

Steve will offer constructive advice based on the specific design ideas, philosophies, and approaches which brought Direct Access success when we delivered both design consultancy and provided day-to-day accessibility management on the then new build of Expo City Dubai, who hosted both Expo 2020 and the recent COP28 conference. 

In addition, Steve will discuss how we have approached our ongoing consultancy work on the Qiddiya City entertainment megaproject in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Agenda of the event as well as various options for signing up (either as an exhibitor or attendee) can be found on IAAAPA’s website here: https://ow.ly/FJ4950Qn5kW
