Accelerate your Association Innovation Journey: Actionable steps for starting next week

The concept of innovation isn’t a new one but never before has there been a better opportunity to put it into practice. Equally there has never been a bigger risk for those who don’t get it right. But what does it actually look like to think and behave in an innovative manner within an Association?

In this session, we’ll discuss what’s at stake, practical next steps, innovation killers and cover live case studies to turn the concept of innovation into a tangible reality.

Attendees receive 1 CAE credits.
