While the chaos of 2020 is slowly subsiding, the change and disruption caused by the pandemic are far from over. Many associations are yet to experience the full economic effect of COVID-19, leaving them to wonder if members, partners and sponsors will return in years to come. To remain relevant, disrupted services have to be redesigned and business models adjusted to a yet unknown sustainable future. These are just some of the topics that will be discussed in "Roadmap 2021: Preparing for uncertainty", a webinar integrated in the Brussels Association Insights series and powered by visit.brussels, next Wednesday, November 25th.

This webinar will address key questions that all association leaders are faced with today: 

  • How to build a sound association strategy in the face of uncertainty 
  • How to ensure continued support from members, volunteers and funders 
  • How to react to changing member needs and priorities 
  • How to develop financial models that reflect the new reality
