Cost before 9/1: $399/member; $449/non-member Workshop Sponsored by Embed Integration Reception Sponsored by Firestone Financial Believe It or Not! Alan Ramsay of Ripley Entertainment and Dorothy Lewis of Fun Station Associates are back and better than ever when they take on the class of 2006 together with their team of the best and the brightest instructors in the FEC business. From ground breaking to grand opening, this session gives you not only what you need to know to get into business, but what you can expect to get out of the business. Believe it! Whether you’ve got the shovel in the ground, or a dream that you’d like to see become a reality, Rookies & Newcomers covers all the basics essential to owning and operating a successful family entertainment center. We asked last year’s class of “Rookies” what they liked best about the workshop, and here’s what they said: The information reaffirmed we are on the right track and not missing any steps. Everyone was an experienced speaker. Very dynamic speakers The Q & A session Level of energy and enthusiasm Lots of information condensed Open and honest discussion Important ideas that give us reason to rethink some aspects of our business “For newcomers, this is a great avenue to learn pitfalls to avoid and strategies for success.” Kevin Mastridna, Lafayette FEC “The workshop was very helpful. It answered a lot of questions we needed to have answered.” Val Johnson, Game On Inc. “We received so much inside information – great stuff!” Francine Greathouse, Kid Factor An added bonus for the Class of 2006, is a special presentation on Thursday, September 28, from Noon – 1:00 pm where the first class of Rookies & Newcomers shares their stories of their first five years in the business and how this class prepared them.
