There’s a full agenda of meetings, seminars, team building events, and parties. One of the highlights of the meeting is a company-wide beer trivia contest. This year one of the hotel bartenders who was watching as the various teams arrived in costume with music and much whooping and fanfare, said, "I've always known Samuel Adams made the best beer in America, but now I see this is the greatest company in America."
