European Society of Association Executives

About ESAE

The European Society of Association Executives (ESAE) is a prominent European organisation that promotes cooperation among professionals who manage membership organisations, such as trade associations, professional societies, and federations. ESAE plays a significant role in maintaining excellence within the industry by sharing best practices across their network and cultivating future leaders' understanding regarding optimal strategies and operations for association management.

By endorsing or aligning with ESAE's visionary efforts, organisations can connect with a targeted demographic directly involved in this field, providing them with direct engagement opportunities with experienced Association Executives from diverse industries. As the society continues to grow, it now includes over 190 distinct membership associations. 

Our Partnership

The Amsterdam Convention Bureau has partnered with the European Society of Association Executives to enhance their joint efforts in association management. Through this collaboration, both organisations aim to promote knowledge sharing, expand industry-specific expertise and provide networking opportunities for their members or partners. This partnership increases Amsterdam's visibility as a preferred destination for business events and adds more value to the ESAE and its network of members.
