This year’s AIP Annual Awards in Leeds, UK, hosted by the Association of Indoor Play, brought together professionals from across the indoor play and family entertainment sector to celebrate the creativity, resilience, and shared progress of the industry. The ROLLER team was excited to take part and support the event as both a sponsor and active member of the AIP community.
Reflecting on the theme: Shaping a Resilient Future
The theme for this year’s event, Shaping a Resilient Future, struck a chord with many in attendance, and closely aligns with ROLLER’s ongoing focus on supporting operators through meaningful, practical innovation. From inclusive and accessible design to sustainable practices and operational efficiency, the conference showcased a range of thoughtful approaches to ensuring indoor play continues to adapt and thrive.
The evening’s awards ceremony recognised individuals and businesses who are leading the way through thoughtful programming, creative execution, and a clear sense of purpose—values we’re proud to see reflected in the wider community.
ROLLER’s involvement: engaging with and learning from the industry
As a sponsor of the awards, we were proud to help highlight the fantastic work being done across the sector. At the trade show, we welcomed a steady flow of operators, partners, and peers from across the UK and beyond.
Our team had the opportunity to share how ROLLER’s venue management platform is helping operators streamline their day-to-day operations, improve guest experience, and make informed decisions based on data and guest feedback. Just as importantly, we gained insights from the conversations that will help guide our future development.
Until next time
The AIP Awards 2025 served as a powerful reminder of the passion and innovation driving the indoor play sector forward. It was inspiring to connect with so many operators who are not only delivering memorable guest experiences but also thinking strategically about the future. We’re honored to play a part in that journey and look forward to continuing to support this vibrant, growing community.
See you next year!
