Dear Friends,

On behalf of the membership of AKMG, it is my privilege to invite you all to the 2012 Detroit Convention. We have set the stage for three exciting days of entertainment and education. The convention committee has arranged an assortment of programs that will appeal to physicians, spouses, and their children.

The convention will begin with a cruise dinner along the Detroit River, with entertainment from Detroit's own 'Persuasion' music ensemble performing Motown classics. On Friday the much-awaited 'Archives of AKMG' will be released in a special ceremony. The Archives will contain the 38-year history of AKMG, with articles from past presidents and an assortment of colorful pictures of past conventions and events. (You may reserve your copy at the prepublication price of $85.

Approximately half of the CME speakers are second-generation AKMG members. This year we also invite Residents and Fellows for poster presentation with prizes for top 3 presenters.

Friday also includes the Campus Comedy night, which includes entertainment by our very own talented members. Mr. Satish Menon, one the most talented Indian American singers will also perform into the early hours of the morning. AKMG members are also invited to perform.

The 2012 Detroit Convention also offers a number of activities for families of AKMG members. Sport and recreation activities activities, special programs for the children, spousal activities, and special tours throughout Detroit's lovely attractions have been arranged.
