Why We Are All AI Ethicists Now
Speaker: Jeff De Cagna, AIMP, FRSA, FASAE
No matter how we participate in the association community and the larger world, each of us must be an AI ethicist. As the adoption of AI everywhere and in everything accelerates, it is essential that we are all prepared for vigilance to ensure that AI contributes more to advancing the human experience than to undermining it. Discuss reasons why we are all AI ethicists and return to your organization with the right questions to spark meaningful AI conversations and valuable next practices to shape ethical AI outcomes.

New Idea$: Not Your Grandma's Non-Dues Revenue
Speaker: Teri Carden
While average associations get their biggest chunk of annual revenue from
membership dues, reliance on dues revenue is waning. To continue to effectively
fund operations while holding dues increases at bay, many organizations are focused
on driving non-dues revenue. But we can’t depend on our members to be satisfied
with the same-old, same-old concepts. At the same time, millennials are taking over
workplace buying decisions and have new expectations about engaging with the
organizations they belong to. Plus, your sponsors and advertisers demand fresh
opportunities that will keep them supporting your association. This session explores
several unique ideas that will inspire you to implement innovative non-dues revenue campaigns. There's untapped and unexpected value right at your fingertips. We’ll share the po$$ibilities.
