Foundations Entertainment University is Heading to Phoenix
Feb 25-27, 2014 Classes Announced
Foundations Entertainment University (FEU) celebrated its 10-year anniversary with the completion of class #30 that took place in Kansas City, MO, Sept. 17 & 19, 2013. For a decade, FEU has provided attendees with hands-on learning and real world knowledge in a fun atmosphere along with networking opportunities and behind-the-scenes visits to local entertainment venues as part of the unique educational experience.
During its 10 years of operation, Foundations has educated over 900 individuals representing 450 new and existing facilities as well as an additional 140 entrepreneurs still exploring the concept of family entertainment. Attendees came from 22 countries and 44 states within the US with over 150 FEC’s being identified to have either opened or completed major expansions and renovations since attending Foundations.
- “I know I am leaving with the most valuable fundamentals, not only in the entertainment industry, but any business venture I choose. The value of this course exceeded my expectations…will eliminate roadblocks, prepare me for unexpected challenges and ultimately position my business for success.” – FEU #18 Graduate, Heidi Haas, Patterson Properties, Rocklin, CA
- “Foundations got us more engaged in the industry and allowed us to flush out a lot of questions about things we had made assumptions on when we started this process. Although I had experience in an area of entertainment, I was not in the FEC Business and the knowl¬edge the presenters provided about the game rooms and the redemp¬tion was invaluable. To learn there is a science to this was something we hadn’t expected.” – FEU #20 Graduate, Barry Zelickson, ZCor (Big Thrill Factory), Minnetonka, MN
- “I quickly realized that this was the program that provided the ‘Foundation’ of information we needed to get started. Foundations provided clarity and allowed us to make better use of the knowledge that was being shared by the presenters. We were also provided an opportunity to visit some local establishments like the Enchanted Castle, Sugar Grove Family Fun Center and Lucky Strike Lanes where we could experience the attractions and ask questions while in an entertainment facility.” – FEU #17 & FEU #28 Graduate, Dave Ellis, Ellis Entertainment Partners (Funhaven), Ontario, Canada.
The 31st Foundations Entertainment University will be held February 25-27, 2014, in Phoenix, Ariz. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit two outstanding entertainment venues, Flipside (FEU #18 Graduates) and UltraStar Multi Entertainment Center (FEU #27 Graduates) as part of the program.
Registration for Phoenix is $489 (includes lunches & dinners). Attendees can also attend the half-day Remarkable Parties & Groups: Past, Present & Future seminar immediately following Foundations for only an additional $10. Visit www.foundationsuniversity.com for more information and to register.
