I recently attended an industry conference. I sat in the opening general session patiently awaiting the keynote speaker to take the stage, but what followed was a 15-minute laundry list of announcements and appreciations that very few people were interested in. As I sit in the audience on this particular day, not as a planner but as an attendee, I realize how this opening has landed – and it’s not a great first impression.

Don’t rely on member and attendee data collected before or during the pandemic to make event decisions. Behavior and preferences have changed for many. Members who faithfully went to events no longer can or want to. I know people in the association community who used to be road warriors but are now content to be homebodies. Members who once scoffed at the idea of virtual events are now asking for more.

by Frank Kenny. Do people in your community ever ask you, “Hey, how come you didn’t tell me about such and such?”. It’s so frustrating, especially if you posted the event or program on social media again and again. You may have even felt like you were bothering people because of how often you posted it. Yet people are still angry with you even though you did everything you could to reach your audience.

Happy Women’s History Month ! This year, the United Nations declared the International Women’s Day theme to be “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.” The UN chose the theme to highlight what women have accomplished in the technology sphere and the steps needed to achieve gender equality in digital spaces. While women have made great strides in the U.S. workforce, they are still vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs.

The time is right for nonprofits to do more with learning tech! Nonprofit organizations seem to have accelerated their interest in eLearning tech as of late. Driving this need are several factors including reaching a remote workforce, growing demands for training, and changing regulations. The challenges nonprofits face are not dissimilar from for-profit companies, yet there are notable differences.

Do you remember the Tweet Ups of about 13 years ago? If you didn’t attend one, they were either officially organized or unofficial gatherings of people on Twitter at an in-person event. Back in the day, these gatherings were BRILLIANT! Then I worked for a professional association and ran the association’s handle. After tweeting, retweeting, liking, celebrating, and chatting with the members of our community online for years, it was soooooo much fun to put a face with the handle.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging? Many instructional designers will say, “Boring in means boring out.

The boardroom is the last place where CEOs want to rock the boat. But good governance shouldn’t be comfortable. If too many heads bob in agreement, you might want to take a closer look at who is seated at the table. Collegiality among leaders is a good thing. It can fast track important projects. On the other hand, a shortage of debate could be a symptom of tunnel vision.

Communicating your association’s reason for being is essential for leaders. A simple rubric can help distill your complex activities into a powerful narrative. Associations are often told that they need to “tell a story” around their mission, and the news these days is full of examples of how complicated that can be. The machines aren’t getting storytelling right: Microsoft launched an AI chatbot that quickly gained a reputation for being “ weird and creepy.
