hmmmASAE’s Annual Meeting & Expo is just a few days off, and as the largest tradeshow of the year in the association sector. If your organization is in the market for a new database, it’s an ideal place to get up close and personal with vendors in the AMS space. I’ve scoured the exhibit hall map and reviewed the sessions and here’s the down and dirty on who to visit and what sessions to attend if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of AMS and data stuff.
