Main Take-Aways:

 

1 - Trade Associations were traditionally the go-to resource for networking and connecting with vendors. That model has been under pressure by the emergence of the internet and social media.

 

2- Associations that do not respond to market needs can and will be replaced by private entities.

 

3- Associations still have opportunities with networking in new ways and in producing educational content.

 

4- Detroit is a unique opportunity for associations to use as a conference venue in order to connect with the “reinvention laboratory"

 

5- Continuing to provide and leverage relevant education will be the key to keeping associations vibrant going forward.
