The group meeting also included a presentation by Alex Chausovsky, an expert in macroeconomics, industrial manufacturing, energy efficiency, automation and advanced technology trends. Chausovsky has been featured in major industry trade publications and media such as the Wall Street Journal, NPR and the BBC.
Following the meeting and industry showcase, Artisan Group members and exhibitors were treated to a great performance by local band Aaron McDonnell & The Neon Eagles, while enjoying famous Texas barbeque from the Salt Lick.
“We squeeze in lots of business and fellowship at our annual meeting and industry showcase including our new financial programs, generous vendor partners and lots of Texas hospitality” says Jon Lancto, Artisan Group president. “This year was even better because we learn what our members value with each meeting.
“We are excited about the momentum and growth of the group and have big plans for the rest of 2018.”
