European Association Leaders Summit 2021

The European Association Leaders online summit will take place on 8-9 June.

The summit is being carefully developed together with association leaders and will present thought-provoking ideas and valuable learning from key opinion leaders. Shared challenges are identified and discussed in a collegiate environment where association leaders can take part in confidential discussions.

The programme will comprise five core areas: Leadership, Governance, Member Focus, Business and Financial Sustainability, with presentations and discussions in each area, carefully facilitated so as to enable maximum participation and value to all attendees.  

Speakers will be announced over the course of February and March. Meanwhile, please save the date!
