INTERCARD’S IT DIRECTOR PRAISES IAAPA LATIN AMERICA CARIBBEAN SUMMIT

Kelly Blanchard, Intercard’s director of IT and customer service, attended the IAAPA Latin America Caribbean Summit that took place April 20-24 on a cruise to the Bahamas. The event was held aboard Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, one of the largest and most modern cruise ships in the world.

Royal Caribbean is a member of Intercard’s global family of customers.

The summit focused on the cruise industry and its synergy with the attractions and entertainment industry. Attendees learned from more than a dozen executives and experts how water attractions, mini-golf, escape rooms, arcades and ice rinks and even Broadway-style shows help build memorable experiences for cruise ship passengers.

Attendees also enjoyed a day ashore at Perfect Day at Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean's private island that includes such attractions as a water park, zip lines and a hot air balloon. There was also a tour of the Baha Bay water park and a visit to Atlantis Paradise Island.

“The Summit was one of the best industry events that I have attended. The mix of educational sessions, venue tours, leisure time and networking was excellent,” says Blanchard. “IAAPA and Royal Caribbean did an exceptional job.”

Intercard is an IAAPA member and was a proud event sponsor for the summit.

JR Huyck Joins Intercard

Intercard has added bowling industry veteran JR Huyck to its team as North American Sales Manager.

A Missouri native, JR Huyck has been around bowling since his early teens working at Walnut Bowl in Springfield. There he became friends with Andy Bartholomy, who went on to create the popular chain of Andy B’s family entertainment centers. Andy B also sponsored and coached JR during a winning five-year stint as a competitive amateur bowler.

JR was the general manager of Andy B’s Springfield location and later rose to the position of director of operations, overseeing the expansion to a chain of three modern FECs. Andy B’s now comprises five centers and is a member of the Intercard Global Family of Customers.

“JR comes to us after a successful tenure as a new business development executive for QubicaAMF Worldwide. With his extensive managerial and operations background in the amusement industry we know his leadership skills will help us reach our highest goals,” says Scott Sherrod, CEO of Intercard. “JR’s understanding of both FECs and BECs will help our customers in North America continue to thrive.”

Rob Geiger will stay on with Intercard in a new role as Client Relations Director. He will be based out of Atlanta.

JR Huyck will be at Bowl Expo 2026 in Nashville and can be contacted at [email protected] .
