Please save the dates for two UIA Associations Round Tables 2013: in Asia: Singapore on 23-24 October, Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Center in Europe: Brussels on 12 November, Pullman Hotel at Brussels Midi The programme covers topics of relevance to international associations, such as: membership management and retention; sponsorship negotiations; community engagement; and communications tools and strategies, with emphasis on subjects of immediate and current interest.

They will be present, should you want to talk to them, but there will be no sales presentations in the programme: this is an event for training and networking.
