Association events: delivering member value

While the revenues generated by events through sponsorship and delegate fees are important to sustain an association’s activities, it is easy to lose sight of the wider benefits, for members and your organisation. Live event experiences offer the opportunity to bring your association’s brand, core values and strategic purpose to life: by focusing on the bigger picture, you can achieve so much more than revenue. This session will explore the purpose of association events and reaping the financial benefits of putting members first.
