SUMMARY:The CIO Hour September
DESCRIPTION:\n				\n								\n\n						\n							Download the Presentation PDF						\n					\nSeptember 3rd, 2026\nDebrief: What We Actually Learned Walking the ASAE Annual Expo Floor\nASAE Annual in Indianapolis has come and gone, the swag is unpacked, and the follow-up emails are piling up. Now it’s time to make sense of it all.\nThis month, we’re pulling together an association exec and a consultant — both fresh off the expo floor — for an honest debrief on what they actually saw, heard, and learned while walking the aisles of technology vendors at ASAE Annual. No sales pitches, no recycled press releases — just two perspectives comparing notes on what stood out, what surprised them, and what’s actually worth following up on.\nWe’ll talk through the tech categories that seemed to dominate the floor this year, which vendor conversations turned into real next steps versus polite small talk, and how an exec’s read on a vendor differs from a consultant’s. If you missed Annual (or spent the whole time in sessions instead of the expo hall), this is your shortcut to knowing what’s out there and what’s worth your attention.\nWhat You’ll Learn:\n\n🔍 The technology trends and vendor categories that stood out most on the floor this year\n🤝 How an association exec and a consultant size up the same vendor differently\n🚩 What separated a genuinely promising conversation from a forgettable pitch\n📋 Smart next steps for following up on vendor conversations before momentum fades\n💡 What surprised our panelists most — good or bad — about this year’s exhibitors\n\nWhether you were there in person, following along online, or catching up now, this episode will help you turn Annual insights into action.\nTune in for the real debrief — the one you don’t get in the post-conference survey.\n																														\nEXTRA 30 ​\nDue to the popularity of this topic, we’re adding an EXTRA 30 minutes with the panelists from 3:00 to 3:30. This is your opportunity to ask questions and share ideas on the AMS Selection process with the other participants and panelists.\nThe CIO Hour is NOT just for CIO’s! \nThe CIO Hour is a monthly webinar designed specifically for non-tech association staff to boost their IT-IQ.\n
