Upcoming: 2008 ASME Annual Meeting

ASME will be holding it's annual meeting June 7-11, 2008 at Walt Disney World, Florida

For mechanical engineers looking for professional development, workshops, and a chance to win a spot on a behind-the-scenes engineering tour at Walt Disney World, the 2008 ASME Annual Meeting is an event not to be missed. The Annual Meeting will be held June 7-11, 2008 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

The event will include plenary sessions on a variety of engineering and business related topics, led by an array of top industry personnel, including Michael Rogers, Futurist-in-Residence at the New York Times Company, John Voeller, consultant to the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Charla Wise, Vice President for Technology at Lockheed Martin.

Workshops are scheduled on the subjects of global intellectual property, multi-disciplinary projects, advanced visualizing technologies, and leading virtual teams.

Other planned events include a career expo and training sessions on the importance of codes and standards to the engineering field.

In addition to the technical sessions, twenty lucky meeting registrants will be selected for a private behind-the-scenes engineering tour at Walt Disney World. For those not so lucky to be chosen for the tour, there is also a charity golf outing and 5K walk/run on the schedule. Proceeds from the charity events will be donated to Engineers Without Borders.
