2015 - Change or Die
A brief recap of 2015 F2FEC
Change or Die
Life does not get better by chance, life gets better by change
Change or Die is the storyline. All of us in every aspect of the entertainment center business need to reinvest, reinvent; push for more, ask for more, expect more and we must work together to create what’s next. We must change and evolve. Without change and growth everyone in the industry is moving toward obsolete and pushing the industry toward obsolescence. Industry associations and their leadership are not doing enough, and they too are simply maintaining the status quo and focused on the wrong things. With F2FEC we hoped to be a catalyst for leadership, change and positivity.
Face 2 Face Entertainment Conference (F2FEC) is three days of intense, interactive business discussions, led by an array of the most accomplished professional in the industry. Through powerful group sessions and the willingness to share wisdom for the success of each other, attendees had exclusive access to the insights and trade secrets that keep our businesses profitable, relevant, and memorable.
