Associations at Day 2,500: Where We've Been, Where We Are, and Where We're Going

Thursday, November 5, 2026 is Day 2,500 of The Turbulent Twenties.

On the eve of this important milestone date, we will take the opportunity to consider what our community has (or should have) learned throughout this decade, where our community stands in late 2026, and where it is headed in the final 36 months of The Turbulent Twenties and into the 2030s. Your perspectives will help shape our conversation!

SURVEY DEADLINE EXTENDED: All interested association community stakeholders are invited to complete the pre-session survey by Wednesday 10/28 at 11:59 pm PDT. Registered participants for the 11/4 AIOT session are strongly encouraged to respond to the survey.
