Slack channel for family entertainment centers focuses on COVID-19

April 9, 2020

A group of family entertainment centers has created a Slack channel to share knowledge, best practices and ideas with each other during, and then after, the COVID-19 crisis, according to a press release. Those in the FEC community who would like to participate in the channel can request to join at http://fecinternational.org.

The Slack channel has grown to include nearly 200 participants around the world within just a few weeks since it was created at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

"There's a clear need for this new way for all of us to stay in touch with each other, share a variety of ideas and, candidly, sometimes commiserate a bit about many of the issues we're all struggling with now and working hard to address," founding member Christine Buhr, former owner and president of Shakers Fun Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, said in the press release.

"While the channel was created in light of the struggles FEC owners and operators are dealing with currently, the intent is for the FEC international community to stay active well beyond this tough period for everyone," said Buhr.
