Where do I find the industry's best practices? How will I learn how to run a successful entertainment operation? To be successful, a laser tag attraction must be correctly designed and developed from the start. It must also be professionally managed and operated. When a laser tag attraction is designed, developed, managed, and operated professionally, it is by far the best indoor attraction for an entertainment center. The main obstacle to developing a successful laser tag arena is a lack of detailed knowledge and experience. If you don't do it right the first time, you can be sure someone will do it right the second time. Our FREE Conference Will Show You How To
LASERTRON owns and operates the longest running laser tag center in the United States at 18 years and counting at our LASERTRON Interactive Entertainment Center. For our most recent fiscal year end, we had our best year ever. Our laser tag experience and operating knowledge has enabled us to develop proven systems. These systems combined with our advanced laser tag equipment and arenas, provides you with the tools needed for long-term success. The LASERTRON Professional Operators' Conference was the first conference of its kind in the industry. LASERTRON is pleased to offer operators and prospective operators the opportunity to join fellow LASERTRON Owners, General Managers, Assistant Managers, Marketing Managers, and Technicians for two to three days of educational presentations, dialogue exchange and invaluable operations know-how for family entertainment centers.
The Curriculum: The conference is held four times per year in Buffalo, NY in the months of January, May, July, and October. Seating for each conference is limited to 50 attendees. Scheduled dates for 2007 are indicated below.
In addition to the regular Conference, LASERTRON will feature an advanced Center Manager Pro (POS) program for existing operators and developers during the January 2008 Conference. Contact LASERTRON for more details.
The LASERTRON Professional Operators' Conference offers up to three full days of information. We present more information than any other conference in the industry. The Professional Laser Tag Operators’ Conferences, each entitled “Laser Tag - Do It Right the First Time”, cover topics such as management, customer service, marketing and training for entertainment facilities. In addition to the basic conference, each session includes special guest speakers on industry-critical topics. Previously, Frank Price gave a two hour seminar on birthdays. At recent conferences, LASERTRON Operator Peg Murphy discussed redemption games and prizes. Mick Whipple from M&T Bank shared vital information about applying for and receiving bank financing this past October. At our well-attended winter 2006 conference, LASERTRON Operator and industry legend Marc Mueller shared his summer camp successes. Bill Carlson, of ProfitSense Consultants, gave a presentation on branding your facility. The attendees also have ample opportunities to be involved in round table discussions, meet other operators and exchange new ideas and information. The Conference includes special video presentations, opportunities to try our LASERTRON LT-11 system and much more. The LASERTRON Professional Laser Tag Operators' Conference is the only laser tag conference to offer advanced educational opportunities Experienced LASERTRON Operators and Developers who have already attended the Operators' Conference, have the option to join advanced sessions sponsored by the LASERTRON Alliance. These advanced sessions include special guest speakers, presentations by current successful LASERTRON operators, and an abundance of dialogue time with the very best operators in the laser tag industry. Other laser tag conferences spend a limited amount of time on business plan education. This complicated subject deserves more attention and hands-on time. On the day following the main conference, LASERTRON developers and other qualified individuals may attend a special three-quarter day seminar focusing on business plans. During this critical third day, you can learn important financial information for creating a successful business plan for yourself, your bank or your investors. You'll also enjoy the hands-on attention in this small group setting. LASERTRON has also initiated a program to provide advanced training for our operators' staffs. In April 2006, we presented a new program geared towards general managers, assistant managers and supervisors at the Conference. LASERTRON Operators will be able to send multiple staff members to attend this special Manager's Seminar at future Conferences. In October, we hosted a technician seminar for LASERTRON operators. In January 2007, LASERTRON offered an advanced marketing program for existing operators. The marketing program was presented by Jason Bock, author of three books on marketing laser tag and entertainment centers. At the LASERTRON Professional Operators' Conference, about one half of all attendees are existing operators. The LASERTRON Conference program is so valuable, many of the best LASERTRON operators attend multiple Conferences every year. Many of our existing operators return for the advanced educational opportunities. Others are involved in the International LASERTRON Alliance, a trade group of LASERTRON operators that meets at each conference. Still other clients may be considering expansion at their existing facility or opening new facilities. Potential clients are given many opportunities to interact with the many existing clients in attendance at each conference.
This LASERTRON Professional Laser Tag Operators' Conference could be the most important step you take when building or upgrading a laser tag interactive entertainment experience. Continuing to visit the conferences each year can give you the edge in new ideas, methods and information, to make your center one of the best. You would pay hundreds, possibly even thousands of dollars for the same program at an industry trade show or independent conference. At LASERTRON, the conference is free for qualified attendees. It's our way of showing you we're serious about helping you to develop the very best, most profitable and professional laser tag operations. At the LASERTRON Professional Operators' Conference, you'll learn how to get open and how to stay open. LASERTRON is focused on two things: finding the very best operators and potential operators in the entertainment industry and supporting our existing operators. The LASERTRON Operators' Conference is the best tool available to share information critical to the success of existing and new operators. At our most recent conferences, existing operators from LASERTRON's 100+ installations, comprised about one-half of all attendees. Seats are limited for prospective operators.
