EAF 2025: The Comeback of the Community

We disrupted the conference scene in 2014. In 2025, we’re doing it again—bigger, bolder, and built for this moment.

About the Forum

Lead the Shift. Real Talk. Real Tools. Real Change.

The Engaging Associations Forum was built by association professionals, for association professionals—people who knew the old conference model wasn’t cutting it. We replaced boring ballrooms and sales pitches with immersive conversation, fearless learning, and a format that prioritized connection over perfection.

Since 2014, we’ve sparked powerful “a-ha” moments, elevated fresh voices, and inspired a shift in how associations grow and lead.

Now, we’re back.

EAF 2025 isn’t just a comeback.

It’s a rally for those navigating burnout, hybrid fatigue, shifting member needs, and tighter-than-ever resources.

It’s your space to rethink what’s possible, and rise.
