For associations & member organizations

Your members aren't asking for networking anymore. They're asking how not to get replaced.

Alex works with executive directors, program committees, and chapter leaders to cut through AI confusion and give every member a practical, sector-specific AI playbook — from local chapter meetings to national conventions.

Association audiences

One profession at a time.

Association audiences need guidance that works for a room of people at different employers, with no shared budget, IT stack, or mandate. Alex builds for that room — city managers at ICMA, engineers at IEEE, and HR leaders at SHRM each got a different talk.

Ways to work with Alex

Programming for the whole membership year.

AI Keynotes

A shared language for what agentic AI is actually changing.

Built for professional association audiences. Every keynote covers what the shift to agentic AI means for your members' specific sector. A practitioner's read on what's already happening, not a trend overview. Customized every time.

AI Innovation Sprints

Member innovation in action: a working prototype and a peer network.

You'll leave with

  • Which tasks AI agents absorb
  • How fast skills lose value
  • What reskilling costs compared with hiring

The AI Opportunity for You, Your Industry & Your Organization

Most keynotes are scripted. This one is built from your questions. After a detailed intake, Alex writes the session for your industry and your organization: research, industry benchmarks, expert answers, and an extended live Q&A that runs until the questions do.

Association conferences are a core part of Alex's calendar, with clients including SHRM, ICMA, IEEE, Rotary, PhRMA, and HCI. Formats range from the opening general session to breakout tracks, board dinners, and chapter leader sessions the day before the doors open. Topics run from agentic AI to the future of work, sized to the profession in the room.

Sector-specific, built for one profession at a time. Customization starts with calls with the conference chair and two or three members, a read of the association's member survey data and advocacy priorities, and a scan of what AI is already doing to entry-level work in that field. Audiences rate his sessions 95% relevant.

Board briefings, staff and executive workshops, AI innovation sprints, and webinar series that give chapters programming between annual meetings. Virtual sessions often run under $10,000, which matters when programming budgets are set a year ahead.

Yes — virtual keynotes and webinars for member audiences, including chapter meetings, member-only briefings, and hybrid annual conferences. That can mean one live session broadcast to every chapter, or the same session repeated for individual chapters. Live polling and member Q&A keep a distributed audience participating.
