You can’t miss the orange shirts at a conference and today, you’ll meet the man behind them, Rob Wenger. In this episode, we chat with the Founder and CEO of Higher Logic, someone who’s helped shape the tech landscape for associations and still makes time to get out, meet people, and listen. Based in the US but a regular in Australia, Rob brings an ear for diverse voices and a sharp eye for where our sector is heading.

We cover:

• Why “Google is dead” (and what AEO means for your association).
• The three big advantages associations have over the rest of the world in the AI era.
• How to build a team that’s ready for the future, not just hanging on.
• The mindset shifts today’s leaders need to pass on to the next generation.

 

Part strategy, part tech talk, and part pep talk, this one’s for anyone who wants to stay relevant, connected, and confident in a fast-moving world.
