FX Design Group, LLC to Help FAM Members Drive Up Traffic

ORLANDO, FL (September 14, 2009): The FX Design Group, LLC will be presenting at this fall’s FAM conference on Thursday, September 24th at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton a session entitled “Weathering The Storm By Driving Up Traffic”. This unique breakout session is designed to educate museum managers/ administrators/ operators how maximizing their museum’s media exposure can be a powerful tool for driving attendance.

“Having worked with local television news stations for over 20 years we know what an impact they can have on consumers and viewers. Local museums are in fierce competition for patrons with everything from video games to the internet. We hope that we can educate the audience about how they can team up with their local news station when they return home and change that dynamic” commented FX’s Kevin Osgood. Attendees of the seminar will learn how to attract local news time to promote their programs.

In addition to the breakout session, FX will be representing their museum partner, Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose (CDM), exhibiting a number of CDM’s most exclusive and popular educational interactive exhibit components…Gear Up! and Pinscreens. FX will also be showcasing an exciting new themed immersive educational environment. Show participants who visit the FX booth can experience the excitement of piloting a fighter jet using integrated math and science skills in this new flight simulator that will be available in 2010. This exciting exhibit is produced in partnership between FX Design Group and their strategic educational and software partner, TEQ Games of Orlando, Florida.
