FSAE Call for Presentations

The FSAE Annual Conference and FSAE Winter Conference are great educational opportunities for association executives and suppliers. We are making some changes for the 2011 Winter Conference and 2012 Annual Conference. The goal is to offer high-level content in an energetic and engaging environment. No longer should you feel you only have 50 minutes to deliver your topic. Perhaps you have a half-day session in mind or just a 20 minute snapshot to provide some teaser information. Whatever your idea, we want to hear it. Similarly, our evaluation feedback from previous conferences have shown that people want discussion based sessions so please keep that in mind.

Your Audience
Conference attendees will be primarily senior staff association executives who bring a wealth of knowledge and technical expertise to the table. Attendees are CEOs, COOs, planners, marketing and membership experts, and suppliers to associations.

FSAE Conference attendees are looking for high level information to help manage their association more effectively when it comes to infrastructure, mobile, web, social media, data, and strategy that focuses on both planning as well as tactics. Association suppliers are looking for leadership, sales and marketing strategies.
