AI in your association: opportunity or overwhelm?
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how associations operate, from automating administrative tasks to personalising member communications and generating content at scale. But for many association professionals, the pace of change feels more overwhelming than exciting. This session cuts through the noise with a grounded, honest conversation about where AI is actually being used in the sector right now, what's working, and what associations need to think about before they invest time and money.

What members can expect

  • An overview of the current AI landscape for associations
  • Facilitated open discussion drawing on member experience and questions
  • Real examples of AI use cases already operating in the sector
  • An honest conversation about risks, ethics, and what a responsible AI approach looks like
