Dear AMCI Member,
Yes, the rumors you have heard are true! We are optimistically moving forward with an in-person meeting, June 2-4, 2021 at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Resort, Orlando, Florida.
The decision to shift this meeting to June rather than convene in February virtually was based on the clear message voiced by our AMC members. The AMC community is universally challenged by today’s ever-changing landscape. You are in search of solutions and best practices that will set your firm up for success in meeting the needs of your clients today and in the future. Yesterday is old news. Your association clients are looking to you for thought leadership on how to drive past adversity toward stability and growth. With your insight, AMCI’s Annual Meeting Committee has carefully designed Universal Change and the Evolving AMC: Innovation. Culture. Profit., a 2021 Annual Meeting that will push us all past our 2020 pivot!
Annual Meeting registration is currently open for in-person registration only. Virtual registration will be made available closer in for select sessions if necessary. Do we understand this year’s meeting cannot and will not look the same? Yes. Do we understand many of us have high concerns about travel, vaccinations, and safety provisions? Yes. Do we understand that in-person attendance at this meeting could be less robust as a result? Yes. We are not denying the reality we are living in today, instead choosing to lean in with agility, identifying solutions and opportunities. Why? Because that’s what our association clients expect from the AMC community. This is a chance for us to experience and learn together, leaping the hurdles of an in-person meeting during COVID so that we are better prepared to inform and advise our clients how best to position and drive their own organizations, including their events. There will be many new best practices put forward, including the attached waiver, as we showcase ways to move your clients forward in the current environment necessary for face-to-face meetings.
Universal change is never clear and simple, but if any community is equipped to evolve with the times, it’s ours! We are a resilient and forward-moving group of professionals. On behalf of AMCI’s Annual Meeting Committee, we look forward to seeing you in Orlando this June.
Stay well,
Sarah Timm, CAE, CMP-HC
2021 Annual Meeting Committee Chair
President and CEO, Parthenon Management Group
