Engaging Associations Forum
@engagingassociations.com
The Engaging Associations Forum is where association and not-for-profit leaders come to think differently, talk honestly, and lead forward. No talking heads. No fluff. Just bold conversations, real solutions, and a peer-driven space built for leaders who want more than surface-level strategy. Since 2014, EAF has challenged the status quo of association events by putting community before content and dialogue before decks. In 2025, the Forum reignited the community. In 2026, it moves from disruption to direction, helping leaders turn change into clarity and momentum. EAF is built for changemakers. Executive Directors, CEOs, Vice Presidents, Association Meeting Planners, and senior leaders who are navigating complexity and want practical insight they can actually use. This is where strategy meets reality, where leaders learn from peers, and where the conversations continue long after the sessions end. Powered by Event Specialists Inc., Engaging Associations Forum is not a trade show or a sales conference. It’s a leadership experience designed to spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and help association leaders shape what comes next. Next Event: July 22–24, 2026 | Ottawa, ON Registration is open: www.engagingassociations.com #EAF2026 #FromDisruptionToDirection #AssociationLeadership #BoldConversations #CommunityFirst #poweredbyEventSpecialists

About Engaging Associations Forum
The Engaging Associations Forum is a dynamic community designed specifically for leaders in associations and not-for-profits who prioritize learning, collaboration, and growth. Founded in 2013 by Meagan Rockett and Doreen Ashton Wagner, the Forum offers a refreshing alternative to traditional industry conferences, fostering an environment where leaders can engage in open discussions about challenges and opportunities. With a mission to create impactful spaces, the Forum emphasizes shared experiences, enabling leaders to learn from one another through meaningful conversations.
The Forum's approach is structured around its eight pillars of engagement, which cover crucial topics like strategic foresight, modern member experiences, diverse revenue streams, and effective governance. Throughout the year, members participate in events ranging from the flagship annual gathering to focused deep-dive programs and peer forums, all designed to promote collaboration and innovative thinking. Ultimately, the Engaging Associations Forum empowers leaders to share insights and drive sustainable change, strengthening the entire association community.
