During this live session we will review new features we have implemented in the last quarter as well as our upcoming road map. We will highlight a number of success stories and share best practices for managing your Elevate site.

Most organizations reach only a small slice of their members with their traditional place-based conferences. The rest of the membership gets nothing—or, worse, finds other sources for learning and networking. No longer just an emerging trend, virtual events can help you solve this critical problem in a very real way. We’ll look at a range of virtual events—including Tagoras’s Learning • Technology • Design 2017—to help attendees evaluate which option, if any, might be the right fit for the challenges and opportunities they see. rnrnCelisa Steele and Jeff Cobb, co-founders of Tagoras, will present this session, sponsored by CommPartners. Rich Finstein and Jill Norris of CommPartners will also contribute their perspective on virtual events, drawing on their experience working with a range of association clients on virtual events. rnrnAll registrants will receive access to a recording of the Webinar. (CAE credit is only available if you attend the live session online, not if you view the recording nor if you attend by telephone only.)rnrn

Associations invest significant time, energy, and resources to be their member’s go-to-place for education. But how do you translate these efforts to create meaningful returns on your investment?

This session will navigate the basics in monetizing your learning and explore strategic and creative ways to maximize your education revenues.

In this webinar we will present:

• Cost considerations when developing eLearning Content
• Pricing strategies to maximize profits
• E-commerce strategies that make paying for content an intuitive process.

No, not a full frontal lobotomy. Nor a behind the scenes look at the private parts.rnrnIt’s time to focus on engaging your brain at a higher level. It’s time to think smarter. It’s time to equip your brain with the ability to conquer the complexities of 21st Century work by going full frontal!

Every day, you use your brain to complete your most important work. A maze of intricate neural networks act as the engine to solve challenges, to innovate, to learn, to plan, to reason, to manage your emotions, to think strategically. These networks connect past experiences and knowledge to today’s challenges.

Healthy resilient brains wire and fire across four major lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital.

The frontal lobe of your brain acts as the central command center. It links information back and forth across other brain regions. It’s where the executive functions of your brain reside. It’s where you do higher order thinking skills, like decision-making, planning, strategic thinking and more. If you want to work smarter, more efficiently and more effectively, you’ve got to practice going full frontal—leading from your frontal lobes--with transformative thinking.'

About the webinar:

When we think of the marriage between one's AMS/CRM and their LMS we tend to focus on the seamless process that allows learners to be automatically authenticated once logged into one of the programs. We call it an integration which focuses on the connection between the two. While this is a foundation for which the two systems work hand in hand, there are a number of higher-level or strategic benefits that go unnoticed.

In this webinar, we will delve into the hidden benefits of leveraging data to drive customized learning experiences.

Join us as Association Technology Solutions (ATS) and CommPartners review:

• What you should consider when shifting to a virtual event.

Associations offer a lot of educational opportunities. Start by counting the in-person and digital offerings. Then add in the publications and other association assets that deliver instruction, and you’ll see it adds up quickly. Most of us organize this content chronologically: When did it last occur or what registration opens next? But what if we adopted the characteristics of a university advisor? Individualized assessments, hand-picked courses, a clear pathway to graduation, course corrections along the way, and, ultimately, a certificate to demonstrate achievement.

Hear Event Garde, CEO, Aaron Wolowiec and CommPartners, CEO, Rich Finstein, share how important it is for learners to receive more personalized learning recommendations. These pathways could be for stand-alone courses or a clear path comprising of a series of learning interventions, resulting in greater engagement and a higher return on their investment.

In this session:

• Identify your association’s current education assets.
• Evaluate your association’s current organization of education assets.
• Examine segmentation as a means of better organizing education assets.
• Explore better organizing of education assets for a sample segment.
• Consider the marketing implications associated with reorganizing content.

Learn how to reignite excitement and participation around online learning opportunities within your association and how ad targeting can play a powerful role in boosting course enrollments, especially right now. Whether you’re a one-man-marketing-band or have the support of an entire team, you will take away fully-baked, multi-channel campaign plans you can apply right away. Join Aidan Augustin, Founder, and CEO of Feathr, and Rebecca Buscemi, CommPartners’ Digital Marketing Specialist, as they discuss 5 Digital Marketing Ideas for Promoting Continuing Education.

In this webinar, you will:

• Find out why now is the time to grow your continuing education programs
• How you can keep other programs running for your association
• Use ad targeting to promote your education programs and continue to bring in revenue throughout the year
• Learn how associations can reignite excitement and participation around online learning opportunities

This year brought a sudden emphasis on virtual education as many of us were unexpectedly met with a huge challenge of transitioning our place-based events to a virtual format. Faced with this situation, we were forced to innovate quickly. The result was new ways to eliminate the distance and bring forth compelling educational content.

As we catch our breath, it’s time to take a fresh look at an old standby: Webinars. This past year has changed these programs. But what does change mean, and how can organizations make this transformation work for them? Join us as we discuss how to best position and produce your webinars for future success.

Takeaways include:

• How to incorporate what we learned in the past year to expand the effectiveness and impact of these programs
• An understanding of best practices from the CommPartners Event Team leaders
• Access to 3 leading Association/Professional Development leaders on how they plan to innovate in 2021
• A fresh look at outsourcing vs. in-house production
