Need a quote, perspective, or industry insight?

I regularly speak with media and industry publications on:

• Member behavior and retention. Why people join, why they quietly lapse, and what the next generation expects before they’ll pay dues.
• Event attendance. The gap between intent and showing up, the real barriers (budget, time away, approval), and who is missing from the floor.
• Trade shows and exhibitions. Booth performance, exhibitor ROI beyond badge scans, and the shifting economics of the show floor.
• Sponsorship and non-dues revenue. What’s actually selling, where pricing is under pressure, and why renewals are getting harder.
• AI in associations and events. Organizational readiness: where it’s delivering, where it’s oversold, and what happens when the attendee sends an AI instead.
• Volunteers and chapter leadership. The shrinking volunteer pipeline and what’s replacing the traditional committee model.
• Learning, certification and credentials. Professional development as both a retention play and a revenue line.
• Workforce and generational shifts. What changing career patterns mean for membership pipelines and event attendance.

Data I Can Point You To: CEIR industry research, association and generational benchmarking research, and my own analysis of conference financials and attendee behavior.

Formats: on the record, background, or a quick gut check on a thesis before you write it.
