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
