We asked our network one question. How effectively is your organization driving non-dues revenue? And here’s what we found out from 272 association professionals.

55% – We’re looking for new ideas.
11% – Meh.
15% – We’re kicking butt!
19% – Doesn’t apply to me but I’d like to see the results.

Associations were desperate for non-dues ideas and exposure to innovative ideas and products before 2020. But now in light of the thousands of association events that have been disrupted, there is no better time to look at diversifying revenue streams.

What we know is that associations are hungry. But ironically there is no good place to have a conversation exclusively about new revenue streams and ideas. Consultants and product providers are producing some good content, but it’s dispersed all over the internet and can sometimes be interpreted as a sales pitch.

We’re working hard and getting creative as $*!# to bring together some of the biggest experimenters, leaders of teams that are creating new revenue streams on-the-fly, and companies offering bleeding-edge products and services. 

And you know how it is… there’s just something therapeutic about sharing revenue ideas for the future, learning from the successes of others, and maybe even commiserating a little — and that my friends is what Non Dues-a-Palooza is all about.

This experience is hosted by the creators of AMS Fest and long-time association community contributors. 

We welcome you to be a part. Learn from your association comrades and join in the fun. Yes, we said fun. Trust us, it will be fun.
