ESAE - the European Society of Association Executives - is the premier, European association supporting and representing association managers in Europe. ESAE provides an international framework for round tables, seminars, and events throughout the year, highlighted by keynote speakers from senior levels in industry, government and association management.

ESAE members enjoy a range of opportunities to learn and exchange ideas and insights with other association executives across the continent and beyond. Throughout the year, members can access a wealth of events, seminars, networking initiatives and educational activities supporting their ongoing requirements for continuing education, professional recognition and information exchange.

As an ESAE member you receive a wealth of key resources on a regular basis.

Associations Now, published monthly, is just one of several informative, in-depth publications produced by the European Society of Association Executives in conjunction with global partner ASAE (the American Society of Association Executives and the Center for Association Leadership.)

Members also receive the Journal of Association Leadership, focusing on the larger, strategic issues directly affecting our members and our business. The European-focused publication Headquarters magazine is also sent to ESAE members six times a year - a prime publication targeting European association managers with a full eight pages of content produced by ESAE to analyse the latest trends and topics concerning our industry.

These valuable resources are a key benefit of membership to ESAE and offer a unique set of tools to senior level association managers, consultancies and suppliers across the continent - just part of ESAE’s enhanced package of benefits for members.

Throughout the year ESAE also offers activities and additional online resources keeping members informed and engaged with other key players in our industry.
Membership in ESAE also includes membership to the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) & the Center for Association Leadership, giving members access to an extensive knowledge base and a wealth of resources on two continents.

ESAE members join a diverse and influential community of association leaders.
