Community Service: Tap Into Attendee Expertise

Consider creative ways to give back to your conference's host city

Your attendees have professional skills and specialized knowledge that can make a difference when they’re put to work in a conference-related community service project. Here are a few creative ways that associations have given back to their host cities.

Association conferences often feature a community service project—a chance for attendees to give back to the local community where the meeting is being held.

For example, at ASAE’s 2017 Annual Meeting & Exposition in Toronto in August, attendees will have the opportunity to support two local organizations: the Toronto Humane Society and the Royal Canadian Legion. One will have participants working on projects to improve the lives of the animals they meet, while the other will have attendees planting trees along a stretch of highway to honor Canada’s fallen veterans.
