AMOA encourages the creation and growth of state trade associations for coin-op business people.

Every February, AMOA hosts the Council of Affiliated States Meeting. This two-day program provides educational seminars on topics related to state association management. In the past, these seminars have included Running a State Tournament, Smoking Bans, Forming or Administering State PACs, Music Piracy and Jukebox Licensing. 

The Feb. 10-12, 2011 meeting will be conducted at the Westin Tampa Bay in Tampa Bay, Fla.  Next year's annual session among coin-op state leaders will be set to the theme of "Recalculating Your State Association's GPS."

Among the firms who have signed on as sponsors for the 2011 program include:

• AMI Entertainment
• Bay Tek Games
• Grand Vision Gaming
• Jukebox License Office (JLO)
• Montana Coin Machine Operators Association

• Moss Distributing
