Future-Focused: How AMPED Met Virtual Meetings Head-On
By AMPED Association Management
The word of the year for successful associations? Pivot.
For AMPED and our association clients who rely on annual conferences and trade shows to deliver education and grow membership, 2020 was a chance to explore virtual meeting options, try something new without fear of failure, and, yes, pivot.
It started in March, when the pandemic stay-at-home orders hit just weeks before the annual conference of one of our newest association clients. Staff immediately moved the meeting online and partnered with a virtual platform company to deliver four days of education with both live and prerecorded content. The result was a successful event whose net income was 28 times higher than was budgeted for the original in-person meeting!
With the tremendous success and knowledge gained from that first conference, and signs of a worsening pandemic, staff and client leaders made the decision to move all scheduled events online.

.REINVENTING FOR THE NEW SHAPE OF WORK
Companies that balanced economics and empathy bounced back faster after the last recession.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work and live. Organizations are alternating between the phases of respond, return and reinvent, depending on the course of the pandemic, government responses and the resilience of their industry and business. This constant state of flux is the new normal, and this is driving a need for unprecedented adaptability, resilience and humanity.
At the same time, organizations are embracing many aspects of what was once termed the "future of work" at breakneck speed. There is an opportunity now for a fundamental shake-up, which was already on the cards before COVID-19. Mercer's Global Talent Trends Study 2020 revealed 98% of executives planned to redesign their organizations to make them future-fit. The World Economic Forum's "double-disruption" scenario is clearly in sight, with a pandemic-fueled recession and a new shape of work emerging — one that has profound implications for people, employers and investors.
