Monday 22 May: Association Focus

Whether you’re an association leader or an association events professional looking for a way to navigate the unprecedented challenges facing associations in our uncertain world today, this is the event for you. Unity, collaboration and engagement are more important than ever for associations.

The increased pressure to be more improved with sustainability, coupled with the complexities of delivering events in a hybrid world heighten the demands on association professionals. Then of course there are increased budgetary and commercial pressures to contend with. Led by expert global speakers, our collaborative programme offers insight, inspiration and resolutions.
