Hello Jeanette

Welcome to your fortnightly ebulletin including Updates, New Members, Job Vacancies, Seminars, Masterclasses and Discussion Forums.

We have just come back from our very successful Associations World Congress 2023 edition in Florence.  Below are a couple of testimonials from delegates and session leaders:

"Another great annual conference and programme for #AWC23,  Always amazing to meet and chat with others representing International Associations. Learning from one another in order to drive best practice, better membership engagement, benefits, and so much more" Aluscha Ritchie, World Tourism Organization

"Thank you for a superb event and for your hospitality. As I have already said, I think AAE is currently the BEST network out there for Association professionals. Yes, there are others but they don’t create that sense of belonging that you have created so well and as such you really know the needs of the audience" Lisa Collins, Dovetail Creative

We will be announcing the location and dates of Associations World Congress 2024 in the coming weeks so please keep a look out for this and save the dates.

On 27 July we have the Seminar: 'Six event strategies for transformational and profitable events' (more and book here) and on 12 September the Masterclass ' Essential Conference Speaking Skills'  (more and book here)

Discussion Forums

Interesting discussion points for you to contribute and share your ideas:

• I'd be interested to know how other associations are managing childcare for delegates at their events. Particularly for multi-day conferences/exhibitions and events where the location changes on a frequent basis. How do you manage the various risks (safety, legal, reputation)? What type of relationship do you establish between your care providers and the delegates? Do you charge or offer this service for free? Looking forward to any insights. (discuss here)
• Any recommendations for a member's benefits package for a small membership association? (discuss here)

Ask any questions here and we will circulate these to our members and invite them to share their ideas.
