ASAE2018 – Education in Healthcare: The Next Fundraising Gold Mine

Monday, August 20

12:15 PM – 12:35 PM

Halls F1 & F2 Level 3,  McCormick Place-West Building

Moving away from typical and obsolete association event sponsorship and exhibition models, it is important to identify the needs that lay beyond a marketers’ perspective, as the business relationship between an industry sponsor and an association often too highly depends on the success of annual congresses.

Associations and industry players share the goal to educate healthcare professionals – it is therefore in their common interest to design new fundable initiatives and partner over educational opportunities, whilst remaining neutral and cutting edge. Case studies will be presented from medical societies dealing successfully with both pharmaceutical and medical devices industries.

  • Explore how medical societies can diversify their revenues.

  • Discover new educational initiatives.

  • Learn to engage industry and benefit from their insight.

  • Acquire tips on effective industry outreach.

ASAE2018 – Improve Global Effectiveness: Lessons Learned on the Ground

Monday, August 20

9:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Room W183b, Level 1 of McCormick Place-West Building

Business growth increasingly requires associations to expand outside the USA requiring organizations to be more adept at global strategy and operations.   ASAE Foundation research has shown in recent years that associations grow with a more deliberate strategy and operational practice.

This session will feature association executives who completed the ASAE Global Maturity self-assessment and whose associations were categorized into one of four maturity levels.

Explore the insights each association gained from the analysis, how it impacted their thinking, and enhanced effectiveness.   Discussion will include perspectives across seven domains of the Global Assessment that proved the most significant triggers for change.

  • Rate your association’s effectiveness across the seven domains in the Global Maturity Assessment (from strategy to operations).

  • Learn from globally mature or experienced associations to those starting out or less prepared to deliver value and impact to members and customers around the world.

  • Interpret and assess actions that improve global growth and effectiveness.

  • Evaluate new approaches for international strategy and operational planning.
