WASHINGTON, D.C.
ASAE revealed the host cities for the 2018 through 2022 ASAE Annual Meeting & Expositions, following what the industry association described as “a very competitive bidding process.” ASAE will be holding its 2016 meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, and its 2017 meeting in Toronto, Canada, as previously announced.
The ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition attracts thousands of association executives and hundreds of exhibitors each year, and it’s the flagship U.S. event for associations and nonprofit organizations.

2018: Chicago
Aug. 18-21, 2018

“Congratulations to the cities selected for our 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 ASAE Annual Meeting & Expositions,” said ASAE President and CEO John H. Graham, IV, FASAE, CAE. “We had seven cities that were finalists in our selection process, and each one did a fantastic job.”
Among the association executives who attend the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition are those who select destinations for their own organization’s meetings and events. It is estimated that 20% of the delegates who attend the annual meet book their own conventions in the host city within five years.
“If our members are as impressed as we are with the hospitality, convention facilities, hotels, restaurants and entertainment as well as overall experience at our meeting, I anticipate they will strongly consider bringing their own association meetings to these cities,” added Graham.
ASAE last held its meeting in Chicago in 2007, which had the highest attendance of association executives. In 2019, it will be the first time Columbus, Ohio, has ever hosted an ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition. Las Vegas last hosted the Annual Meeting & Exposition in 1969.
