"We look forward to welcoming attendees of the FEC program to the show in Vegas early next year."

By partnering with Foundations Entertainment University, Amusement Expo will become the premier trade show for family and leisure entertainment center owners/operators. Not only will registrants have the opportunity to attend the industry’s this #1 rated (two full days & 1 evening) comprehensive educational workshop covering all aspects of market & financial feasibility, planning, designing, developing, and opening and/or managing location-based entertainment businesses, their discounted registration fee of only $399 will also gain them access to the Amusement Expo. Here they will be able to browse the aisles and see the newest products and services relevant to their businesses in a focused environment that is right-sized to have all their needs met in one convenient place.

Frank Seninsky commented, “Not only is this partnership a great value for the industry, Amusement Expo will provide a new home for those family and leisure based entertainment center owners and operators who attended the (now defunct) Fun Expo because it met their distinct needs. In addition, we will be starting new traditions, like an Awards Program for excellence in entertainment center facilities, a free advanced Foundations Alumni session for the more than 700 Foundations alumni and their staff, as well as other relevant educational seminars that will be free to all trade show attendees.”
