This year our conference theme aims to help membership/association professionals to ‘think big’ and aligns more closely with the four key principles the MemberWise Network was founded upon:

– Increasing New Member Acquisition
– Improving Existing Member Retention
– Enhancing Member Value
– Optimising Member Engagement/Participation

When focused upon (and demonstrable improvements/developments are made) membership organisations and associations can expect long term robust and sustainable growth in return.

This year 50+ senior membership expert speakers (representing the UK’s leading membership organisations and associations) will share their success stories with delegates.
