The one-day ideas summit for association leaders and the events industry

Future Ideas 2027 brings association executives, meeting planners, and speakers bureau agents together for a single day of short talks. Each speaker gets 15 minutes on stage to make the case for one idea, which keeps the program moving.

The lineup pairs names you already know with speakers you will be glad you heard first.

The summit takes place April 15, 2027, at Venue SIX10 in Chicago. After the talks, the attendees are invited to stay for lunch and extend the conversations with the speakers over a catered lunch.

Attendance is by invitation only and complimentary for every invited guest.

“Eye-opening, energizing, and unlike anything else.”
- Lynda Bouchard, Past Chair, ASAE Board of Directors
