“I came with a vision for how to improve my FEC. I made the right connections and experienced guidance to focus on how to proceed.” – Billy Frye, Magic Wheels Fun Center
Foundations Entertainment University (FEU) held its 49th class July 16-18, 2019, in Chicago, IL, hosting 50 attendees with varying interest in planning, designing, developing and operating out-of-home entertainment businesses. Entrepreneurs and current owner/operators traveled from as far as Mexico, Brazil, and Canada, as well as representing twelve US states, including locations in Florida and Texas.
“The new Speaker Q&A Session was fantastic and had an overwhelming response from the attendees,” said Frank Seninsky, FEU presenter. “We also provided a new networking opportunity for our attendees to meet with our sponsors and speakers who were assigned to specific tables during the lunches and dinners. This was well received and attendees appreciated the extra time to network and ask one-on-one questions. I think this was one of the best sessions ever at Foundations!”

“How can we expect our front line to constantly learn and be great if we’re not modeling this same behavior,” notes Shanna Dow of Plainfield Lanes. “This is the seminar to take if you’re in the entertainment industry. So much good information from industry experts. What works and what doesn’t! Everything you need to know TODAY from startup to staying relevant.”
