The AI Powered Association
Member engagement is a popular term in Associations. But just reviewing a member’s historical engagement may be ‘too little, too late’ for many associations. What if it was possible to accurately predict (using one of your most valuable assets – your data) - a member’s future engagement? At this webcast, we'll discuss how advanced technology, including Artificial Intelligence, is today enabling associations to develop predictive models of member behaviour. We'll review how AI tools can be easily accessed and affordable for Associations and applied across the entire organisation to improve member engagement, and to provide more accurate forecasts for individual member renewals, event registrations, course enrolments, product purchases, committee involvement, and other key association specific activities. Case studies from leading associations will be used to help you understand how you can scale up AI in your association.

Digital Advocacy - An Association Case Study
The role associations play for members, sectors and communities at large has never been so important and more prominent than right now. Associations have continued to do what they always do but with a brighter light shone on the effects of having one centralised and strong voice to the public and government. As we move into the recovery stages and into a post COVID-19 world, governments want to continue hearing all the voices in your sector and profession, not just the loudest voice.

How to Effectively Transition into Phase Two of COVID-19
As we slowly start to transition into a new phase of business during COVID-19, NFPs and charities are now looking for ways to continue business with restrictions in place for the foreseeable future. Boards must now begin to reassess how their NFP or charity is performing during COVID-19, and their new long term goals and concerns.

Finally, NFPs and charities should continue to proceed with caution when considering becoming party to any contracts during and post COVID-19. This presentation will: • Provide an update on government incentives and legislative changes for NFPs and charities; • Provide guidance on how boards and senior management should strategise during the coming months for the long term benefit of the organisation; and • Discuss what NFPs and char
