Yes, the ASAE Annual Meeting is possibly the most important event of the year for association professionals to learn and connect with their association peers.  Sadly, due to budget cuts, travel restrictions or just lack of funding… not all of us can go.

So if you’re stuck in DC and still want to connect with likeminded association peeps, you’re invited to a special I Wish I Were at ASAE Annual Happy Hour.

• When:  Monday, August 23rd at 5:30 PM
• Where:  Rock Bottom Brewery in Bethesda, MD
• Sponsored by: Vanguard Technology — Thanks to Vanguard’s generous sponsorship, we’ll be providing 2 drink tickets plus some appetizers.

At a minimum look for me, Maggie McGary from ASHA (@maggielmcg), and several of the good folks from SmartBrief.  If you think you’ll be able to make it, please let me know by leaving a comment so we can have the restaurant set aside some space if we get enough people.

We’ll work on getting a sponsorship and will update this post with more information as it becomes available.

For those of you that need directions, here’s a map:

We hope to see you there.
