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’s 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: 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.

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

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