ASSOCIATION DAY – OCT. 16, 2008

Capital Hilton Hotel,
6th Street NW, Washington , DC

Call for Papers

Scott Oser, President of Oser Associates, Inc. and Program Chair of DMAW’s Association Day, is looking for new and exciting speakers from the association marketing arena.  Download the Call for Paper pdf and consider sharing some of the ideas that have brought you success and maybe a few that have not been quite so successful but were a great learning experience!  While presenting, you will also have the opportunity to learn from the attendees.

Our goal is to:

Focus on ideas and thoughts that association staff can use when they return to the office.
Look for topics that are of critical interest to associations.
Ensure that the sessions are educational (not selling) so association staff and/or vendors who speak with an association professional will be given priority over just having a vendor speak.

Topics of great interest include:

Membership Marketing (recruitment and retention)
Conference Marketing and Sales
Working with Affiliates and Components
Product sales
Non-dues revenue
Electronic marketing
Direct mail
And more!

We are sure you can add to this list – so submit a proposal by June 16!
