Columbus hosted ASAE's annual meeting in 2019.
Experience Columbus looks forward to the annual meeting and delving deeper into a purpose it holds in the highest regard: collaboration. Whether we’re pulling together city-wide support for an incoming conference like PCMA or partnering with our venues to put on spectacular events, collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Our staff works closely with local organizations to elevate Columbus's overall experience and perception. We recently partnered with Columbus City Council to launch the Minority Business Program, uplifting local businesses through complimentary promotions using tactics like radio interviews, social media and more.
Sole Classics is a local retail establishment and a participant in the inaugural Minority Business Program.
Our partnership with ASAE extends beyond the annual meeting. Each year Columbus is the proud host of ASAE NextGen, a forward-thinking, immersive experience focused on cultivating the next generation of leaders in the association world. Our ongoing commitment to hosting these bright, up-and-comers is a testament to our belief in the program and ASAE’s evolution and innovation in the future.
