SESSION 1: Client Management: Quantifying and Communicating Your Value
Stewart Hinckley, Ruggles Corporation
Tom Hardiman, CAE, Hardiman & Williams
Continually demonstrating and communicating your value is crucial to building trust and securing long-term partnerships with clients. Yet as AMCs, we too often get caught in the trap of intensely defending their fees based on our costs, rather than the outcomes and client value we deliver. This session will review approaches to qualifying and quantifying your value and communicating that to your clients.

SESSION 2: Technology Management: Integrating AI Into AMC Operations
Daniel Whitehead, Stringfellow Management Group (Facilitator)
Mary Connor, Stringfellow Management Group
Rich Vallaster, DES, CEM, Personify
With all the buzz about ChatGPT and AI, when and how does integrating these and other automation technologies into AMC operations make sense for your clients and for your company? Understand the range of opportunities to utilize these technologies in member services, content creation, event management and data analysis, while also addressing privacy and data security considerations.

SESSION 3: Business Management: Assessing and Executing an Internal Reorganization
Zach Eisenman, Eisenman & Associates
In an ever-changing business and economic climate, should you be considering an internal reorganization? And if you answered yes, how best do you approach it to ensure success? This session will identify factors to consider when assessing the need for an internal organization, including strategy, staffing, skills, and structure.
