Be a part of the 2025 Golden Ticket Awards!
It’s the Networking Event of the Year!

The Networking Event of the Year is happening September 5 and 6 at Carowinds, just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. Industry professionals should make plans to be a part of what will be an engaging and beneficial weekend of discussing best practices, seeing real operations (from award-winning roller coasters to new family offerings), and celebrating numerous accomplishments within the industry.

Carowinds will welcome attendees in a private Friday night reception in Carowinds’ Golden Ticket Award-winning Aeronautica Landing. Saturday will offer a full day of activities with food, behind-the-scenes tours, a cocktail reception and the opportunity to hop aboard the park’s diverse lineup of attractions, including Fury 325 — a winner of Best Steel Coaster for eight years.

The third annual Charity Golf Tournament, benefiting the National Roller Coaster Museum and Archives, will take place in the morning and afternoon of Friday, September 5. There’s no better way to have fun and laugh alongside industry peers than this light-hearted yet competitive event.

Industry professionals will find much to enjoy seeing operations, safety, themed events and marketing opportunities. All who work inside the industry are welcome to register.
