Okay, if you must make a resolution to feel fulfilled as we usher in the new year, why not make it one that is achievable and valuable: "I will attend the Amusement Expo this year?"

Set for March 14-16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, it is a "target-rich environment" for gleaning new ideas, securing exciting equipment and establishing/growing relationships with trade partners.

The theme of the 2012 show is: "Your Keys To Real Value," and supporting it will be a series of FREE pre-show seminars on March 14. Among the topics to be covered are: ATM 101; Security Tips For Your Route; Applying Social Networking Tools; Gaming Trends, Redemption for the Street; and Sharing Ideas for Operator Survival.

A new educational program, directed at the family entertainment center sector, will be conducted as part of this year's Amusement Expo by Foundations Entertainment University. It will be held March 12-13, and also will include FREE sessions aimed at all attendees to be held in conjunction with the show.

Other show features include the industry's largest annual cocktail party (following the show on Wednesday, March 14), which is set to a Mardi Gras theme; the Wayne E. Hesch scholarship raffle program (featuring a 2012 Ford Mustang as the grand prize); and the AMOA Membership Breakfast Meeting (Thursday, March 15).

The Las Vegas Hotel (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton) will serve as the headquarters hotel for the 2012 Amusement Expo. The rate is $109 for showgoers.

If expanding your business horizons is on your "to do" list of 2012 resolutions, why not start by making plans to attend this year's March 14-16 Amusement Expo in Las Vegas?
