The 50 new ideas presented will re-envigorate you, your team and your membership development plans with fresh enthusiasm.
These annual ‘great ideas’ days are always a great motivating and teambuilding event—and really valuable if you have a planning day ahead. Bring your colleagues and gain extra momentum and buzz in your association for developing membership.
You will hear from two of the world’s leading membership thought leaders and experts who have travelled extensively to bring you the best ideas of what is happening around the world in membership and new trends on the horizon.
During the day there will also be ample time to reflect on the ideas and share, ask question and discuss issues with other delegates and presenters. You will leave with a list of valuable action points and many new contacts.
This is a relaxed and professional day when you can take a step back from your everyday routine and be exposed to new thinking. The Great Ideas Day creates a space in the calendar to be exposed to many new ideas that will raise the value of your membership.
If you can, we highly recommend you bring colleagues, because it will help you get more out of the day. These annual ‘great ideas’ days are always a great teambuilding event.

It is a great day to enthuse and immerse everyone involved in membership, both full time staff and elected members. Follow-up with a planning day and end up with a great, inclusive plan that everyone understands. Launch your plan to a great start – one that the team has fully bought into! What a result! (There is a special 3 for 2 offer so that you can bring other colleagues involved in the planning or delivery process.)
There are four separate round table discussion sessions built into the day, so you get the chance to meet other delegates and hear what they have to say. These are great opportunities to ask, listen and learn, then swap cards so you can follow-up and keep-in-touch.
Those new to a role in membership, find the day a great way to find out about the landscape of the support network and resource facilities available for membership professionals.
