Foundations Entertainment University - July 17-19 in Chicago

Nine years and still going strong, Foundations Entertainment University is recognized worldwide as the platinum standard of education in the family entertainment and bowling industries. Attendees have attended internationally from 19 different countries. Kevin Williams from the UK, recognized as the world’s expert on interactive and digital out-of-home entertainment and publisher of the widely read Stinger Report, has joined Foundation’s as its sixth presenter. 

The 26th Foundations will be held July 17-19 in Chicago, Illinois. Foundations only costs $489, including all lunches and dinners and tours of FECs. Additional attendees from the same company or family can attend for half-price. The special hotel room rate of $99 includes breakfast and free WiFi. Frank Price of Birthday University will be giving an optional half-day seminar on Remarkable Parties & Groups following Foundations for only an additional $10 fee.


Attendees at March’s Foundations Entertainment University

The previous regular Foundations Entertainment University held in Kansas City was a sell-out. A large number of people have already registered for the Chicago Foundations, including a prospective FEC developer from Bogotá, Colombia and Alberta, Canada. Don’t miss out; there’s still time to register before it sells out. Attendance is limited to the first 40 registrants.
