Send Updates to AAE community

Supplier Updates provide association executives useful information on new developments of services, products, venues and destinations from their potential suppliers. The Updates are included in the eBulletin and the Association Success Supplier email, each to 23K association executives (title, teaser text, icon image) with link to the full update in the News section of the AAE website where it is included for 12 months. 

The update needs to be relevant and specific to associations. The AAE will determine what is specific and relevant, and all submissions are subject to AAE editing. Please check with us in advance if you are not sure.
