Gearing up for #AMSFest? An approachable way to start the prep process.

It might be a wrap for #ASAE26, but the momentum built over the last 5 days? Still picking up speed. 🏎️ Catching up with old friends and making new ones is always our favorite part. But this year, the conversations and celebrations felt a little different in a very exciting way. It feels like, as a group, we've all reached the conclusion that "business as usual" isn't cutting it. And that sentiment showed up in almost every conversation about technology, culture, and mission. There's an appetite for change, and real work to be done. And we can't wait to dive in. Thank you to ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership for pulling us together so we can move forward as a whole. To Salesforce, for your continued support of this community we call home. To Fonteva for your partnership and innovation. And of course, most of all, to everyone who keeps showing up, day after day and year after year, to make this space the force for change it is. 💙 🚀 See you in Charlotte for #ASAE27 (but we hope much sooner)! #AssociationTechnology #InnovationforImpact #TechnologyPartners

Standing room only in Himali Shah, Jeffrey Golembiewski, and Ginger Ausloos, PMP®, AAiP's #ASAE26 session. Lots of good questions, lots of good conversations after the fact. And it's clear... There is momentum building here! If you're curious about where you land on the "best-of-need" spectrum, take the self assessment! 11 questions to help you start to diagnose the question: is an AMS still the best fit? Or is it time to consider best-of-need?

Starting soon! Today (Aug 17) 11:30-12:30 at #ASAE26 in Room 236. 👉 The AMS Exodus? Why Best-of-Need is Gaining Ground... Himali Shah, Ginger Ausloos, PMP®, AAiP, and Jeffrey Golembiewski take to the stage for a candid conversation on major changes to association technology. You'll hear directly from an association peer who's live on a best-of-need solution, including: ✅ The symptoms that prompted the move from AMS to best-of =-need. ✅ What she wishes she'd known at the start. ✅ And why she sees this as the most responsible path forward. You'll have the chance to assess where your organization falls on the best-of-need spectrum. AND, for the first 5 question-askers, you'll have the chance to take home an astro plushie. Don't miss it! (But if you do, come by booth #317 for a recap 😊)

Cutting straight to the chase, here 👀 Best-of-need fits associations of all sizes. More tools don't equal more silos. Integration management isn't the bear it used to be. And a network of tools can indeed cost less than a bundled suite. In his new blog, Jeffrey Golembiewski gets to the bottom of some of the most common myths surrounding best-of-need technology for association... Where they came from, whether they still hold water, and how an updated understanding allows you to make the best choice for your organization and members. 👉 https://hubs.la/Q04r-GqL0 #bestofneed #SalesforceforNonprofits #MemberManagement fusionCore.

FP16 is live, and it carries some serious weight. Chief among them? Configurability and a better member experience. A handful (or two) of highlights: ✅ Store, checkout, profile, and event listings pages all rebuilt on LWC. ✅  New "save and resume" and optional donation step within the new Member Journey. ✅ Unified checkout across memberships, events, donations, and products (with credit card surcharging and Klarna built in). ✅ Product reviews, richer product pages, and smarter catalogs. ✅ Native GA4 and GTM support. The list goes on... But there are definitely considerations to weigh before making that upgrade choice.

For more than 100 years, AACSB has connected, supported, and advanced business education around the world. To continue delivering the experience its global member community expects, it needed a technology foundation built for the future. That commitment is what drove the decision to move off their legacy AMS and build a flexible, best-of-need technology foundation that could keep pace with a global network of 2,000+ member organizations across 100+ countries and territories.  Today, we're proud to announce that AACSB is live on Salesforce, powered by fusionCore. 🎉 After eight months of work, AACSB has a modern ecosystem built around intentional choices: Salesforce as the CRM backbone, Blackthorn for events, Higher Logic for community, HubSpot for marketing, MuleSoft connecting it all - each tool selected for what it does best. As Ginger Ausloos, PMP®, AAiP, VP of Technology Solutions and Data Strategy at AACSB, put it: "This approach gives us the flexibility to evolve our ecosystem as requirements change, without being constrained by rigid or underperforming ancillary modules. Ultimately, it positions AACSB with a more agile, modern, and mission-aligned technology foundation." Congratulations to Ginger, Mario, Keri, and the entire AACSB team for having the vision to build for the future. And to Chaz, Temi, Pragnan, Mateusz, Flavio, Haoyue, and the full fusionSpan crew - thank you for the incredible work. 💙🚀 #AssociationTechnology #Innovation #MembershipManagement #fusionCore
