Come join us on Saturday, January 27th at SeaWorld San Antonio for ACE South Central Winterfest!
Our first event of the new year will include presentations from parks near and far, breakfast, lunch, ERT and more!
For those of you who are new to ACE and have never attended a Winterfest event, this event is more of a conference type event where representatives from various parks join us to talk about their parks and upcoming additions and events. Most of the day will be spent indoors listening to presentations. The only scheduled time in the park is after the event ends for ERT as listed below.
Please take note of the following items regarding this event:
1.) This is an event exclusive to ACE members and their guests. To attend Winterfest you must be a current ACE member or be invited by an ACE member as a guest.
2.) There is a limit of 2 guests per ACE member.
3.) You must be present in the venue to receive handouts, door prizes, etc. Friends or family cannot collect your items for you.
4.) Once the registration deadline has passed there will be no refunds. Once we inform SeaWorld of the number of attendees, that is what we have to pay for.
5.) No video recording or streaming is allowed during park presentations unless the park representative and the regional rep team say it is ok. Anyone caught violating this rule will be asked to leave.
6.) Photos are allowed unless otherwise specified.
7.) Attendees are expected to give their full attention to the presenters - no side conversations or phone calls allowed inside while presentations are taking place.
A list of presenters will be communicated closer to the event date as confirmations come in.
The current tentative schedule is below. A full schedule will be available on the day of the event.
