Ten months ago, associations were pivoting to find the best virtual event management platform to fit their needs. Entering 2021 organizations are finding that they will once again be going virtual, or that they will be conducting a hybrid event. The larger question is: how can you find the company that’s the right fit for your organization? Enter NYSAE. Over the summer we held two technology showcases, and we’re happy to announce they’re making their return starting with our program on February 19. We’re looking to bring together technology companies from all walks of life to produce a 10 – 15-minute demo for attendees, showcasing all of the ins and outs of their product. If your organization is looking for that perfect fit, then this program is for you.

Are you a technology solutions company and you’re looking to get your product in front of the NYSAE audience? Please email Holly Koenig to find out how to take part in this Technology Showcase, or a future program.
