Dallas 4 October, 2024 – Embed, the ultimate cloud-based, cashless solutions provider for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries is set to host its premier Embed Connect Summit on November 18, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM at Andretti Indoor Karting & Games in an aim to bring the industry’s best FEC operators, mavericks, and fun crusaders together.

“We’re excited to create an opportunity for operators to cross-pollinate ideas and learn best practices from the best of the best so they can take their business to the next level by maximising their Embed system,” shares Renee Welsh, CEO at Embed.

Along with its commitment to innovate the best of FEC tech by working with partners like Apple, Google, and Amazon Web Services, the Embed Connect Summit is one of the many ways Embed is layering value to its customers in a qualitative and meaningful manner. 

CMO & Growth Officer, Sara Paz explains: “There’s no greater testament to a company’s customer centricity than a company who hires an entire team, the Embed Success Squad™—made up of consultants, industry experts, payment gateway gurus, training professionals, and SaaS experts with the single aim of supporting its customers to transform their business by maximising their tech platform - built on the best of FEC tech from AWS, Apple, and Google.

“The Embed Connect Summit is simply a natural progression in this aim. And like the Embed Success Squad™ and its training arm Embed GoTrain™, the event is complimentary to members of the Embed family of customers & partners. Not only is it an educational insights event; it’s a networking event where our circle of FEC operators - ranging from single operator FECs to the well-known, trailblazing juggernauts - can knowledge-transfer and cross-pollinate ideas to drive transformational growth. There isn’t a single player in the amusement industry who provides this kind of opportunity for free.”
