Happy April!

The AuSAE team are in “conference lock-down” as we look forward to welcoming over 400 delegates in Adelaide next month at ACE 2018, the premium conference for association leaders in Australia and New Zealand ….. time is running out – have you registered?

This years’ program has been curated to address some of the key challenges association managers are facing including engaging the next generation, re-thinking models of membership and delivering more with less.

We have brought in speakers from outside the sector to dare you to think differently, and big picture thought leaders addressing technology, leadership and the continued need for human connection.

The best learnings though I find, are from the conversations, interactions and connections made during the conference, that continue long after the taxi ride to the airport.

I invite you to join us in Adelaide on May 28 – 30 and allow us to ignite your thinking!

“We are hard wired to connect. When human beings who trust each other interact face to face, their capacity to have a positive cognitive effect on each other’s brain and body is something which no robot or screen has”. Dr Fiona Kerr, ACE Keynote Speaker.

Until next month.

Toni Brearley, Chief Executive Officer
