About ESAE
The European Society of Association Executives is the leading organisation in Europe for bringing together association professionals. We facilitate the exchange of best practices among peers and ensure that current and future leaders understand the association business and strategy.
​
ESAE's resources and networks enable members to grow by offering a platform to exchange professional developments and best practices. ESAE members enjoy varied opportunities to learn and swap insights with other association executives across the continent, through a range of events, seminars, networking initiatives and educational activities.
