QUEST MEETING OF THE MEMBERS FEATURING ADAM LASHINSKY
Sr. Editor at Large, Fortune Magazine & Commentator, Fox News Channel

Join the entire Quest community to celebrate the past year's accomplishments, discuss next year's endeavors and hear from a motivational speaker Adam Lashinsky. Plus, you'll want to be there as we give away the Quest Grand Prize - A NEW CAR! All Quest registrants are eligible to win after submitting their Questopoly form and you must be present at time of drawing to accept. 

Adam Lashinsky is an insider to Silicon Valley, he knows what’s really going on in high-tech and has written in-depth articles on Apple, Google, eBay, Hewlett-Packard and Intel. His highly anticipated new book, Inside Apple: How America’s Most Admired — and Secretive — Company Really Works, is due out on January 25, 2012. In a 2008 Fortune cover--The Genius Behind Steve: Could Operations Whiz Tim Cook Run The Company Someday?--Lashinsky predicted that Tim Cook, then an unknown, would eventually succeed Steve Jobs as CEO. According to Amazon.com, “While Inside Apple is ostensibly a deep dive into one, unique company (and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, employees and competitors), the lessons about Jobs, leadership, product design, and marketing are universal. They should appeal to anyone hoping to bring some of that Apple magic to their own company, career, or creative endeavor.” Says Lashinsky on AllThingsD.com: “So much of what Apple does stands decades of business teaching on its head, because they just don’t do things the way other companies do. The rest of the business world might want to pay attention.”
