Sadly, many have been required to move backwards over the past 4-6 weeks.

With the re-opening of many states across the country, AMOA is conducting an AMOA Operator Round Table providing a forum where AMOA operators can share what re-opening looks like in their state or local municipality specifically as it pertains to the re-opening of bars and restaurants. Our operator panel will kick off the discussion by sharing what they have seen since re-opening, how they are preparing/adjustments they have made and the tough challenges some states are encountering when it comes to amusement games. The floor will then open up to round table participants enabling them to share what they are experiencing in their respective areas.
The second topic to be addressed by the panel is the importance of putting together a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan for your business. Panel members will share what they are putting in place for their businesses.
