This Week’s Association Chat Flash Briefing for the week of May 21, 2018 – with all the links and extras mentioned in the micro-podcast!

Meetings Today Live! Midwest

I’m recording this from St. Louis, Missouri, where Meetings Today Live! Midwest is taking place and where I’ll be presenting on Design Thinking for Better Engagement tomorrow. 

This meeting is for meeting planners who are interested in finding out more about the ways to jazz up their meetings with suppliers meeting with them for one-on-ones, it provides a deep-dive into the location and its properties, and it also has a little bit of education and entertainment.

(I guess I fit into the education part!)

I’ll be doing a collaboration with Meetings Today for Association Chat live Tuesday afternoon at 2 pm EDT, if you’d like to watch it as we interview meeting planners discussing hot topics in the event industry.

There’s also another big meeting taking place this week...

ASAE’s 2018 Marketing, Membership & Communications Conference (MMCC) - is taking place May 22-23rd in Washington , DC...this is an event for association professionals looking to improve their marketing, communication, and membership strategies and learn about technologies and trends to enhance their business. I’ve spoken at it and attended it in years past and I have to say, this one usually provides inspiration that keeps me running for the next year, so I can’t wait to follow along on Twitter using their hashtag #MMCCon

By the way, you wanna get personal?

On Thursday the 24th, you can join a free webinar on “Personalization for Associations” explaining how personalization can increase engagement online for membership associations and nonprofits.
