New Member / First Timer Program
No need to rely on Serendipity here - new members of AAMSE and first-time attendees will be paired with an AAMSE veteran, based on similar job function and/or organization type. This veteran will be your "go-to" person for any questions you may have about attending the conference for the first time, and will also introduce you to other AAMSE members.

Education is Two Thumbs Up
Have you been employed in the medical society field going on Sixteen Candles? Do you think you have learned all there is to know about medical society management? We guarantee you will discover new tools to tackle the issues and handle the unique challenges and opportunities facing your society. Our sessions are designed for and by medical society executives. Each session is chosen for its relevance, value and ability to advance your professional development.

Networking is Key
Networking takes place at receptions, meals and other miscellaneous events. However, the best networking at the conference is during the education sessions. Strong bonds are formed when someone says, "Come Stand By Me as we work to solve problems facing medical societies today."

And so, if you Say Anything about AAMSE, say you're coming to the 2012 Annual Conference!
