Q-Up Before Hours at Granite Links

Industry experts say 2012 is shaping up to be Boston's strongest year for tourism and convention business since 2007 - and has the potential to set all-time records. James Rooney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, will be the keynote speaker at this informative breakfast forum.  Rooney will discuss how the increase in convention business will affect the local economy, including Quincy.

Rooney was recently named on the Boston Business Journal's 2011 list of the 50 Most Influential Bostonians and was twice named to Tradeshow Week's Power Pack as one of the top ten convention center leaders in North America. Rooney was also named 2008's Distinguished Public Administrator by the Massachusetts chapter of the American Society for Public Administration.

The breakfast will be held on Wednesday, February 29 from 8 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. at Granite Links. A buffet breakfast will be served.  Advance registration is required.

Tickets are $25 for Quincy Chamber members and $35 for non-members
