I attend a lot of conferences and workshops. I attended one last week and I'm attending another one this week. In fact, looking ahead on my calendar, I've got six more conferences or workshops to attend before the end of the year. Obviously, it's a big part of my job. And, as was brought home to me at the conference I just attended, one of the big advantages to all this time out of the office is getting a chance to hear what other people think.

The new Disaster Response Alliance builds on the expertise of two associations representing building professionals. After an earthquake, hurricane, or other cataclysm, communities often look to structural engineers and other building professionals to assess long-term damage. For the past two years, the International Code Council (ICC) and National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) have been working to create a tool to help speed up that process.

Author’s Note: The American Journal of Transplantation (AJT) recently embarked on an experiment in crowdsourcing called The C4 Article.

Your host destination isn’t just a random city, it’s a strategic partner ready to help ensure your meeting content is aligned to resources and expertise. When it comes to choosing a destination for your association’s conference, following the crowd isn’t always the right way to go. Just because a city regularly hosts meetings or is a popular tourist destination doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best fit for your organization.

It’s not unlike the ways that associations offer training programs of their own. Perhaps your members don’t face the tough decisions that a top basketball prospect might. But there is plenty to learn from the way the NBA is trying to cater to these prospects.
