Over the years, the Associations Round Tables, regularly organized by the UIA, have become one of the most important events for international associations to meet, exchange ideas and network. Every Round Table addresses a number of issues faced by associations worldwide, regardless of their size or specific concern, and presents valuable insights for improving the functioning of organizations as well as new perspectives on current topics. Especially for smaller associations, Round Tables have proven to be an invaluable source of information.

Each Round Table’s program consists of lectures, workshops and discussion groups for participants to exchange experience and knowledge. High-profile speakers, all involved in running associations, provide substantial information and new insights on topical issues or share their expertise in meeting challenges in areas such as membership, communication, funding, and governance.

Thanks to its partners, the UIA keeps registration fees low for association representatives, thus enabling delegates from all associations to attend. From the feedback we have received on past events, we can honestly say that participants go home with new ideas, increased motivation, and names of people with whom they want to stay in touch.

Additional training and information opportunities for organizations are provided by the UIA’s Virtual Round Tables throughout the year. In this dynamic format, general as well as region-specific topics addressing new developments may be presented and discussed. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed about forthcoming events.
