Highlights and Learnings from ASAE 2025


Michiel took part in the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition 2025 on 9-12 August in Los Angeles.
He contributed as a panelist to the debate session “Associations at the Crossroads: Rethinking Global Strategies in Geopolitically Turbulent Times”.
The event highlighted the evolving priorities of U.S. associations, with AI taking center stage in member engagement, operations, and strategy.
While sustainability remained a visible commitment, DEI and internationalisation received less emphasis, reflecting a more cautious tone in a shifting political and global landscape.
Overall, the event showcased an industry balancing bold innovation with strategic restraint in uncertain times.
