Digital-first Culture as a Growth Strategy for Associations

by Airmeet

It’s more important now than ever before that you deliver the benefits of your association’s membership through digital media. The new demands can come across as a threat to an industry that has banked on handshakes, business cards, and in-person interactions to build relationships & engagement.

But we guarantee you it’s an opportunity.

Most digitization efforts start and end in creating a website and social media handles. But dig deeper, and you can uncover so much more potential:

Using engagement data to concoct your membership retention strategy,
Expanding your audience through virtual meetups and events
Monetizing those events through ticketing and sponsor spotlights.

We told you – Opportunity.

Join leaders from global associations like The American Society of Association Executives, Meeting Professionals International, ASIS International, The Food Industry Association, and more to learn how they’ve applied digital-first practices to drive growth and engagement within their communities.

At this event, you’ll learn how to:

🌎 Expand your association’s global footprint and grow your membership across borders.
🎯 Provide the right visibility for your sponsors and partners to hold your end of the deal.
🚀 Wield virtual events technology and social media to boost membership engagement.

Grab your free seat now to meet with the global association professionals LIVE on 27th May 2021.
