Michael Kerr Confirmed Keynote, AMTA Conference

The countdown to Alberta’s annual gathering of trucking industry leaders is underway (AMTA 2010 Conference, April 30- May 2, Rimrock Resort Hotel – Banff, Alberta).

Just added to this year’s fantastic line up of keynote speakers is renowned author/speaker Michael Kerr (Sat. May 1). Through his humour-filled and dynamic keynotes and workshops, Michael Kerr inspires audiences to combat stress, boost morale and be more productive, creative and innovative by tapping into their humour resource.

Author of You Can’t Be Serious!- Putting Humor to Work, Michael Kerr combines his practical, “serious” experience as a former communications manager with his “not-so-serious” experience as a theatre improviser, humorist and humour writer to provide a unique perspective on the role humour and laughter play in our professional lives.

Michael Kerr is a faculty member of The Banff Centre for Management, a Laughter Leader for the World Laughter Tour, a member of the American Association of Therapeutic Humour and The International Group for Humor Studies. Michael Kerr also writes a regular humour column for Home Business Report magazine.
