For Revenue-Driven Association Teams
RevUP 2026 is built for association executives and revenue producers who are ready to experiment, test, and build what’s next in their business model. The ideal RevUP attendee:
-
Is open to innovation and bold moves (and the small, scrappy wins) in packaging, pricing, and program design
-
Wants concrete tools—scorecards, worksheets, competency assessments, and real-world case studies they can plug directly into their association’s revenue strategy
-
Is curious about AI and agentic AI for prospecting and funnel management, whether they’re just getting started or already experimenting
ON THE MAIN STAGE

The membership model is at a tipping point—and the next move is yours. Phil Putnam delivers a keynote built for association leaders ready to turn rising stakes into strategic strength. Learn how to engage today’s multigenerational workforce, future-proof your membership model, and lead with intention—not uncertainty.
The Revenue Trust Gap: Why Skepticism Is Rising—and How to Fix It
Trust isn’t gone—but it’s no longer enough. Henna Pryor unpacks the growing “revenue trust gap” and why strong relationships don’t always translate into renewals, revenue, or engagement.
