Associations Week is an initiative started by association leader Lee Davies in 2017, to shine a spotlight on the work of professional associations and to celebrate the people, employees and volunteers who make associations work. The association sector is a global unsung story - and we have a mission to change that through Associations Week.

In collaboration with memcom, this year Associations Week will be held 27-30 September and the highlight will be the 2021 memcom excellence awards, which will celebrate award-winning innovation, individuals and teams within the association sector.

2021 marks the fourth year that Associations Week has run and we’re hoping to build on the success of previous years, since arguably there has never been a more pressing time to celebrate a sector which contributes so much to the global economy. And this year, we’re going global, inviting organisations from around the world to participate and share their learning.
