Go from 'stupid' to 'stupendous' in 3 days

Okay, maybe we're over paraphrasing and exaggerating what Lonnie Sobel from Chinatown Fair Family Fun Center had to say after attending the Foundations Entertainment University (www.foundationsuniversity.com) seminar program in Chicago this past June. Here's his exact quote:

“I thought I knew a lot about this industry from what my 40 years of experience had taught me. However, those 3 days taught me how little I really knew, and how much more I need to learn to get to where I want to be. I know these 3 days at Foundations will be a turning point for turning my dreams and expectations into realities.”

If that is what an experienced FEC operator had to say about Foundations Entertainment University, you can only image how much someone planning to open any type of location-based entertainment center will learn.

The next Foundations, #39, will take place August 22-23 in Atlanta, Georgia. It will include a behind the scenes tour of the newest Andreitti Indoor Karting & Games (andrettikarting.com/ marietta/ ) center. Early bird registration ends July 31st. Don't miss out, register today (www.foundationsuniversity.com) .
