“Resilience” is the theme of the AMOA’s upcoming members-only On the Road continuing education, taking place Oct. 20-21 at the Westin Chicago Northwest in Itasca, Ill.
On the schedule Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 20) are facility tours (details to be announced). Then on Thursday, education gets in full swing with a keynote address by Jarrett Payton, son of NFL Hall of Famer Walter Payton, titled “Lessons from My Father.” Other sessions include one that explains cryptocurrency, a program with Play Mechanix’s George Petro titled “From Concept to Distribution: The Making of an Amusement Game,” a legislative luncheon with an update from the experts at Dentons (AMOA’s D.C.-based legislative firm), a focus on marketing, an industry panel on “Leveraging Promotions for Better ROI” and a roundtable on operational efficiency.
Following those –– and brand-new this year –– is an associate member showcase on Thursday from 6:30-9:30 p.m. The companies participating are: AMI, Arachnid 360, AVS Companies, Banilla Games, Incredible Technologies, Intercard, SMART Software, Stern Pinball, Really Big Crane Company, Valley Dynamo and Venco.
