Its Great Ideas Conference, which took place March 8-10 in Orlando, hosted a record 806 attendees this year, the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) announced Friday. It was the highest attendance in the meeting's 12-year history and a 15 percent increase from last year's record-breaking numbers.
The Great Ideas Conference is an idea exchange for association professionals, who are invited to share and learn new ideas for association marketing, membership, meetings, education, and management. This year's event included more than 90 education sessions.
"For the second year in a row, we have set attendance records for the conference, which highlights how the Great Ideas Conference continues to evolve through new content formats and great speakers," ASAE President and CEO John H. Graham IV said in a statement. "Participants gained insights, strategies, and ideas they can take back and implement into their organization."
Next year's Great Ideas Conference will take place March 13-15 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
