As the 2013 edition of the IAAPA Attractions Expo comes to a close, the global trade association has announced it will host an FEC conference – entitled 'FEC Las Vegas' – JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa on March 23-25.

These conference dates overlap one day with the dates of the Amusement Expo 2014, which are March 25-27. The Amusement Expo follows a new format of one full day of seminars on March 25 and two full days of exhibits on March 26-27.

While the IAAPA FEC Las Vegas is not connected with the Amusement Expo, the Amusement and Music Operators Association (AMOA) and the American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) said they see a synergy with the timing and the location and believe it will add more value to those in the FEC segment of the industry who may also participate in the Amusement Expo.

Attendees of the IAAPA FEC Las Vegas will receive free badges to the Amusement Expo.
