With the exception of the weather, we can guarantee everything on this trade show checklist will be found in ample supply at the March 14-16, 2012 AAMA-AMOA Amusement Expo in Las Vegas.

Our goal is to accommodate all the items on your Expo wish list, too. The Education, Marketing, Charitable Programs planning groups, as well as the Show Committee, AAMA and AMOA staffs, show management and Expo Board of Directors are all working to make it the best business trip you make in 2012. The theme of the show is: Your Keys to Real Value, and between now and next March, you'll be hearing and reading much about ways the show will deliver "real value" to you.

So, we'll plan the menu, whet your appetite a bit and even set the table for your annual industry banquet. All you need to do is come to the feast, hungry for ideas, information and interaction. There will be plenty to go 'round.

If you haven't started making plans to attend the 2012 Amusement Expo, now is the time. For details, visit the show's official website: www.amusementexpo.org for details.
