TEA Continues Partnership During MAPIC’s LeisurUp 2026 in Cannes

The themed entertainment industry runs on connection. This November, as part of our growing partnership MAPIC and LeisurUP, we are excited to share several ways our members can come together.  More than 4,400 participants from 75 countries will attend LeisurUp, the only event in Europe where leisure operators can meet directly with the owners, investors, and developers who are creating tomorrow’s destinations. 

To kick off the two-day event, TEA is hosting a Networking Mixer on Monday, 2 November at the Loka Bar Kitchen in Cannes. The Mixer is open to both TEA members and non-members, providing the perfect way to begin to connect with fellow LeisurUp attendees. Registration is open now!
