โ€‹Membership World Roadshow โ€“ Manchester Edition

โ€‹๐Ÿ“ Venue: The Studio, Manchester
๐Ÿ“… Date: 28 April 2026


โ€‹Connecting, inspiring, and equipping membership leaders โ€” locally.

โ€‹The Membership World Roadshow is heading to Manchester, bringing together association professionals, charity leaders, and membership teams for a one-day experience packed with insights, strategy, and community.

โ€‹This isnโ€™t a big conference. Itโ€™s a focused, high-impact day tailored for busy professionals who want real conversations, practical value, and connections that go beyond handshakes.

โ€‹Whether youโ€™re working on digital transformation, member retention, events, or engagement โ€” this event gives you the space to reflect, learn, and move forward.


โ€‹Why Attend:

  • โ€‹Learn from real stories and sector-specific insights

    • โ€‹Hear whatโ€™s working for other membership organisations and how theyโ€™re navigating change.

  • โ€‹Understand the trends that matter

    • โ€‹From AI and tech stacks to policy, campaigns, and value perception โ€” get clarity on where things are heading.

  • โ€‹Participate, donโ€™t just listen

    • โ€‹From interactive workshops to roundtable discussions and live problem-solving, youโ€™ll be part of the conversation.

  • โ€‹Build local connections

    • โ€‹Connect with peers in your region without the travel and cost of a national event.

  • โ€‹Walk away with takeaways

    • โ€‹Leave with ideas, frameworks, and tools you can put into action the next day.
