About the Conference

Re-focus. Re-engage. Re-turn.

At ASAE & The Center’s 2010 Annual Meeting & Exposition, you’ll find focused learning ses¬sions, thought-provoking speakers, a solu¬tion filled Expo Hall and plenty of networking opportunities.

Re-focus on yourself, your organization, your future. Re-fine your perspective and refocus your energy on finding the solutions that matter most in a changing environment. Come together with other association and nonprofit professionals to grapple with current trends and learn firsthand what associations the world-over are doing to stay ahead.

Re-engage. Funny thing about the word engage — it actually isn’t a one-time action. It’s a continuous decision, a commitment to be frequently renewed. The Annual Meeting will re-engage your mind, your career, and your community. You’ll find specific content for your varied needs from leading experts in association/nonprofit management. Business solutions for your toughest challenges and networking opportunities so you can develop relationships that can take you further—today.
