Laugh & Learn event, June 10, Quincy Marriott

ASM's program committee has been hard at work this spring planning a uniquely different ASM event to take place on June 10, 4:00 - 8:30 p.m. at the Quincy Marriott. Mixing business and pleasure, Laugh and Learn will feature informative presentations, vendor displays, conversation and networking, delicious food and memorable entertainment - all designed put you in a great frame of mind, while providing valuable information to improve your business. The evening begins with 10 seminars from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. covering a variety of topics - from vehicle fleet management to business use of social networking to the latest in construction software and technology tools. Following the seminars we'll have a complimentary cocktail hour sponsored by Trimble, providing opportunity to talk with other members, leisurely browse the exhibit tables and learn about products and services available from other members. From there, we'll enjoy a delicious buffet dinner and good conversation, then end the evening laughing to the humor of comedian Jimmy Dunn. The event is open to all members, guests and customers.
