LA2M, Lunch Ann Arbor Marketing announces an extended speaker schedule for October, November and December 2008.

The success of LA2M’s new format has prompted organizers to run a second series of marketing lunchtime topics. LA2M is a weekly meeting of marketing professionals from both digital and traditional backgrounds. Founded in January 2008, LA2M meets every Wednesday from 11:45 – 1:00 PM.

Each week an LA2M expert speaks on a topic for 10-15 minutes, followed by discussion and sometimes, healthy, debate. Speakers cover topics ranging from traditional marketing to new and emerging marketing concepts and technologies. Handouts are available to attendees and the popularity of the event is growing.

“Startup Weekend has been huge in cities like San Francisco, Portland and Boston. Now it’s Ann Arbor’s turn. We have a large pool of smart people doing interesting things. I can’t wait to see what types of companies this group will launch, as well as the community they’ll create. It’s very exciting to see this happening at a grassroots level.” Laura Fisher, owner Mitten Artworks and organizer of Startup Weekend Ann Arbor.
