February 10, 3:15-5:00 p.m.      Town Hall: Pre-Conference Workshop
Room: 146BC Hub Tag: pc2

Join your colleagues to discuss the current state of technology in associations and implications now and in the future. These discussions will provide you with a strategic lens through which to view your association’s technology. Prior to the conference, we asked registrants to select four overall trends facing associations (from a larger list identified by the ASAE & The Center research community) to provide a framework for the discussion. The modified world café format will ensure that everyone gets to participate in focused discussions around select topics and hear a group report out and discussion at the end. Be part of shaping the vision for technology and associations.

Join in discussion with your peers around:

• Managing Community in Public and Private Spaces;
• Technology & The Future of Association Publications;
• Fostering Technology Innovation in the Association Community; 
• Small-Staff Association Technologies
