Association Executive Forum London 2026

 

Agenda

Join us for an immersive day for association professionals who want to adopt, upgrade, or get more from the CRM or AMS they already have, and use it to drive stronger member engagement.

CRM and AMS platforms sit at the heart of every association, yet many teams are left unsure how to scope what they need, make the right decisions, or make the system work for them. Whether you’re choosing a new platform, mid-implementation, or tied into a system you can’t change, this day gives you practical tools, honest peer insight and a clear plan to take back to your organisation.
