Sponsored by Intercard!Join us as we kick things off by reminiscing about our adventures at the IAAPA FEC Summit in New Orleans, alongside special guests Clint Novak, Jeremy Hoyum, and FEC Committee Chair Sherry Howell. Despite the unexpected snowy weather that altered our plans, the summit was a melting pot of ideas and connections, setting the stage for upcoming events like the Amusement Expo in Las Vegas.Our travels continued at NOLA Motorsports, where they are attempting to shift from a race training hub to a bustling Family Entertainment Center. With high speed outdoor go-karts and a new mini-golf course, the journey wasn't without its hiccups, raising questions about safety and operational practices. But it wasn’t all serious; the creativity at Mardi Gras World reminded us of the magic that happens when everyday spaces are reimagined.Beyond the local scene, our episode ventures into the realm of global entertainment innovations. From AR darts in the UK to unique immersive experiences in places like Dubai and Tokyo, Kevin Williams discusses how venues worldwide are redefining social entertainment. With a spotlight on the importance of diverse food and beverage strategies with Dave Wallace, we explore how venues can become social-based hubs, enhancing visitor experiences and boosting revenue.
