Survival or Transformation: How AI Based Personalization Can Accelerate Revenue and Growth
with Adam Hostetter, FUSE Search
Today’s associations are employing AI to do the heavy lifting of tagging and categorizing their content. But that is just the beginning of the story. When AI is part of a well-formed marketing strategy, the rewards of effective personalization can be considerable. Organizations are not only seeing deeper engagement, but also increased sales and more diverse revenue streams. Aside from all the other cool stuff, you will learn that implementing AI is not that complex, and a lot more affordable than you think! Click here for more info.

Financial Planning & Analysis in 2022 and Beyond: What Associations and NFPs Can Learn From Leading For-Profit Enterprises
with Dr. Vijay Jog
Change is coming at finance leaders like a freight train. Gone are the days when purely dollar-based budgets and profit and loss models were enough to call it a day. Today’s finance professionals and business leaders are under intense pressures to stretch beyond reporting and deliver strategic insights that will guide the organization into the future. Canadian associations and nonprofits are feeling this pressure the most – having to juggle legacy operational responsibilities and limitations with finding the right mix of systems and capabilities to meet the demands of stakeholders, donors, members and staff. Join Dr. Vijay Jog for this live session where he will outline how to transform your organizational plans, reports, and acts to mitigate risk, deliver value across all areas of business, and excel in a new age.
