Continuing Education Information

MSAE 2026 is loaded with education suited for association executives, professionals and staff specialists. Today's association professionals need to have lots of different tools in their toolbox. The committee has indicated the audience segment to which each session is most aligned however you are encouraged to choose your own path!  We encourage you to choose the sessions that will provide you the information, thought leadership or ideas that you will need for tomorrow. In a session that isn't what you expected it to be? No problem! Feel free to slip out and head to another session.
