From Views to Revenues: Unlocking Social Media Success for Attractions 📅 Thursday, November 20th, 2025 – 4:00 PM 📍 Location: S330AB I’m thrilled to be presenting a 1-hour EDUSession showing how operators can create viral social media content that drives sales and unlocks passive revenue streams.

1 Year Ago, I Almost Failed a University Class to Attend IAAPA (it changed everything) Three weeks before IAAPA Expo 2024, I was preparing a group presentation on the attractions industry, funny enough, when I saw a last-minute opportunity to attend the IAAPA Expo and showcase my social media video services to the industry. When I notified my professor, they gave me an ultimatum: If I missed a class to attend IAAPA, I’d get a 0% on my final presentation. I pondered for days… Was it worth risking an entire semester to attend a trade show where I knew almost no one, with no guarantee it would lead anywhere? Despite that risk, I booked the trip anyway. That decision changed everything: ✈️ At my first IAAPA, I met brands and creators who would later bring me across North America to create social media content with them. 🤝 Once I got back home, I took a break from university to go all-in on my social media business serving attractions and experiences. 🏆 Six months later, we won the 2025 IAAPA Brass Ring Award for Best Social Media Marketing Campaign. 🗣️ And two weeks from today, I’ll be back at IAAPA, this time as a speaker, giving a 1-hour talk on social media success for attractions. Crazy to think how many doors have opened since then. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from outside the classroom. Can’t wait for my second straight year of IAAPA in a couple weeks, see you soon!
