Association Chat

Association Chat is your one-stop-shop for industry news, views, and professional resources. Check out our website, where nearly 11,000 monthly visitors explore articles, podcasts, and resources that fuel professional growth. Your next big idea could be a click away. Our #1 purpose is to bring the association community together. We believe that no matter what a person's role or position is, where they are located, or how much or little they can afford to spend – we believe anyone who works in the association industry should have a chance to communicate with others in the same industry. Association Chat is that place. Association Chat members are motivated association professionals, service providers, creatives, and entrepreneurs who love learning, seek new ideas, and endeavor to connect with others in the industry. Association Chat is led by KiKi L’Italien and populated by a group of smart, passionate human beings who understand that the more we know how to leverage our curiosity and these incredible tools available to us, the more effective we will be in sharing our message (and our members' messages) with the world! In 2024, Association Chat was acquired by the team behind companies like Big Red M and Core Affinity — a move rooted in a shared mission to support and uplift the greater association community. With this expanded foundation, Association Chat continues to grow as a trusted space for conversations that matter.
