Think Strategically at this Year’s AM&P Annual Meeting

By Association Adviser staff • June 18, 2018

The following is a sponsored post from SIIA in partnership with Naylor Association Solutions.

2018 AM&P Annual MeetingWith nearly double the conference content and a sold-out exhibit hall, Association Media & Publishing’s Annual Meeting, held June 25-27 in Washington, DC, is the most robust event in the association’s history. We are thrilled to announce that AM&P has re-imagined its Annual Meeting. We spent a great deal of time talking to members, and you’ll notice the influence of those discussions in the content line-up.

Start Your Meeting Off Strong

A good beginning helps ensure you get the most out of your Annual Meeting. Be sure to join us for the brand-new AM&P 360 Pre-Conference event on Monday, June 25 (the same day as the EXCEL Awards Gala). Join us for lunch at noon for a Chief Publishing Officer/C-Level Network Lunch followed by the C-Level Publishing Trends session from 1:30 – 4:30.

    • Blockchain and Digital Currency: What is it and How Will it Impact Association Publishing?
    • Social Media: Where Should We Be Investing – and How Much?

    • How the Smart Associations are Mining and Using Their Publishing Data

After a great afternoon of learning and inspiration, join your colleagues for the Annual Meeting Opening Reception, followed by the EXCEL Awards Gala.

June 26 and 27 are loaded with sessions focusing on strategic, leadership and practical content. Topics are organized under strategic (trends, analysis, and information on what’s ahead); practical (tips, tools, and ideas to implement immediately); and leadership (professional development sessions to help you advance your career in association communications).
