Why We Are All AI Ethicists Now
Speaker: Jeff De Cagna, AIMP, FRSA, FASAE
No matter how we participate in the association community and the larger world, each of us must be an AI ethicist. As the adoption of AI everywhere and in everything accelerates, it is essential that we are all prepared for vigilance to ensure that AI contributes more to advancing the human experience than to undermining it. Discuss reasons why we are all AI ethicists and return to your organization with the right questions to spark meaningful AI conversations and valuable next practices to shape ethical AI outcomes.

Everything You Need to Know about ChatGPT: The Hottest (and Scariest) Technology of 2024
Speaker: Beth Z
Just a few months ago, a plain little website shared a free “Research Preview” of ChatGPT, and the world as we know it changed forever. ChatGPT can write whole essays from a simple text prompt,
formulate 100 social media post ideas from a single sentence, create computer code with just a description and compose poetry and songs in any artist's style in milliseconds. It'll create a summary from a long legal document, recommend resources for research and, by the time you read this, make your bed and bring you coffee. With this type of AI tool, there are ethical issues, legal issues, bias issues, quality issues, creativity issues, copyright issues, issue issues... and issues we haven't even considered. Join Beth Z, Your Nerdy Best Friend, for an in-depth look at ChatGPT and similar tools to discover: Where did it come from? How does it work? What can it do? How can it help you do your job better? Who does it hurt? And, most importantly... How far can it go?

New Idea$: Not Your Grandma's Non-Dues Revenue
Speaker: Teri Carden
While average associations get their biggest chunk of annual revenue from
membership dues, reliance on dues revenue is waning. To continue to effectively
fund operations while holding dues increases at bay, many organizations are focused
on driving non-dues revenue. But we can’t depend on our members to be satisfied
with the same-old, same-old concepts. At the same time, millennials are taking over
workplace buying decisions and have new expectations about engaging with the
organizations they belong to. Plus, your sponsors and advertisers demand fresh
opportunities that will keep them supporting your association. This session explores
several unique ideas that will inspire you to implement innovative non-dues revenue campaigns. There's untapped and unexpected value right at your fingertips. We’ll share the po$$ibilities.
