Owners and prospective owners, managers, coaches, referees and all those serving the indoor soccer industry are invited to attend the United States Indoor Soccer Association's Facility Operators Conference September 5-7, 2003, hosted by Las Vegas Indoor Soccer in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Conference will be the “Third Annual,” following successful events at The Soccer Spot (2001) in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Family First Sports Park (2002) in Erie, Pennsylvania. (See 2001 and 2002 Conference Reports.)

Las Vegas Indoor Soccer is located across the street from the JW Marriott Las Vegas, where most of the conference events will take place -- about 15 minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip. The Conference will promote the exchange information, ideas and experiences among indoor facility owners and operators of single-sport and multi-use arenas. Attendees will learn some of the do's and don'ts involved in running an indoor soccer center or even getting one started.

Conference plans include round-table discussions with industry leaders focusing in three separate areas: issues relevant to the existing operator, to the startup, and to the game of indoor soccer. Last year’s topics included general operations, employee management, alternative uses, marketing, concessions, merchandising, strategic planning, in-house tournaments, referees and competition. Exhibitors of related service and products will also attend.

Admission, including meals, is $75 to USIndoor members (good through August 4) and $105 to non-members (and those registering after August 4.) Admission for Exhibitors is $575 for USIndoor Corporate Members. Other non-members may complete the online registration form for additional information.
