The Association of Club Executives (ACE)
is a national trade association for Adult Night Clubs. ACE has been honoring this industry since
1999. Many resources are provided to
club owners such as customer referrals, information on new laws, licensing, and
political information. The entertainment industry is not just limited to music and video it also has another side club life which is a big part of many peoples lives. I chose this association because I am the
in the process of purchasing an existing nightclub. This place is a local favorite and has an
excellent location. Joining ACE will
help keep my business partners and I up-to-date and informed on any changes and or regulations in the industry. Not only does this organization cater to Adult Night Clubs it provides assistance for general night clubs. Some of the incentives ACE provides its’ members
are trade discounts on inventory and service.
Legislative tracking reports, the ACE newsletter, free admission to
