On this week’s show we chase one question from three angles: what actually makes guests talk about your venue after they leave. We move from attraction buying and trade show diligence to a real-world “Fans First” makeover that turns a Nerf battle into a live, shareable experience.

• IAAPA Expo attendance as a nonnegotiable industry advantage
• Record IAAPA Expo Europe buyer numbers and what that signals for capital appetite in our LBE industry
• Vendor tradeshow diligence that matters: throughput, labor, maintenance, fees, support, update roadmaps
• Hot Mess Express on why hard-to-say names hurt word of mouth
• AI selfie wall as a mass-participation attraction and first-party data capture tool
• Dart’em Up’s Fans First workshop to remove friction across the full guest journey
• Arena upgrades that turn gameplay into entertainment: MCs, music, lighting, dance breaks
• Spectator engagement tactics that pull parents and grandparents into the fun
• Surprise moments that drive referrals: celebrity walkthroughs, random free passes
• Open and shut trends across global openings, competitive socializing, VR, and mixed-use venues
• All the latest amusement news from the London expo on Arcade Corner with Adam Pratt
