This Symposium Online
The programme successfully transitioned to an online event in 2020 in North America, and 2021 in Europe exclusively with AAE, and delegates expressed high satisfaction with its format, content and the ability to apply that knowledge to their associations immediately.
The Association Leaders Symposium is now being offered for the second time to AAE members throughout Europe, and is designed for leadership teams from professional, business and credentialing associations, societies, institutes and federations.
As enrollment is limited for the program to ensure a comfortable learning community, AAE encourages you to register early.
