Bringing Member Voices to Center Stage: Gather Voices at ASAE Annual 2025

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years working alongside the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), it’s this: Associations thrive when their members lead the conversation. At Gather Voices, we’ve built our entire platform around this belief and we’re proud to bring it to life once again at ASAE Annual 2025, happening August 9–12 in Los Angeles.

This year, we didn't just attend ASAE — we activated. From Booth 646 to around the conference floor, we showed what true member-centric storytelling looks like, in partnership with ASAE and association professionals like you. Whether you're leading the charge on innovation, volunteering behind the scenes, or proudly sporting your CAE designation, your voice belongs at the heart of this gathering — and we were glad to help you share it.

Our History with ASAE: More Than Just a Booth

Gather Voices has been a longtime supporter and collaborator with ASAE, and the relationship goes beyond sponsorships or vendor listings. Over the past several years, we’ve worked closely with ASAE’s own team to amplify member voices — literally.

In 2022, ASAE tapped Gather Voices to help drive engagement across the entire member journey, from advocacy campaigns to event promotion. One powerful example: our video collection work at ASAE Annual that year drove over 25,000 views on social media, turning everyday attendees into influential storytellers. You can read the full case study here, but the takeaway is simple: when you put real people in front of the camera, powerful things happen.

That’s the magic we’re bringing back in 2025.

New This Year: Meet GatherBot

AI might be a buzzword right now, but we’re not jumping on the bandwagon — we’re steering it in a meaningful direction. At this year’s ASAE Annual, we unveiled GatherBot, our new AI-powered assistant that lives inside the Gather Voices platform.

Think of it as your always-on, always-ready video strategist. GatherBot helps associations and their teams get more from every video — with suggestions, optimization tips, and smart prompts that make video creation easier and more effective than ever. And yes, it’s cooler than most AI robots (you’ll see what we mean when you meet her).

👋 Weren't able to stop by Booth 646 to experience GatherBot in action and learn how she can help your team win over leadership, boost engagement, and scale your storytelling. Book a demo with us now to experience her for yourself!

Video Skills = Leadership Skills

We believe that communication is a core leadership skill — especially in an era where trust is low and authenticity matters more than polish. That’s why we hosted a special hands-on session:

Lights, Camera, Impact: Sharpening Your Video Skills for Success
🗓 Tuesday, August 12
🕘 9:00–10:00 AM
📍 Room 409 AB

Led by our CEO, Michael Hoffman, this workshop was designed to give you practical, repeatable techniques for being confident and compelling on camera. Whether you’re presenting to your board, rallying members on Zoom, or recording social content for your organization, this is your chance to level up.

Capturing the ASAE Story — With Your Help

Throughout the conference, we be partnered with ASAE and the association community to collect powerful videos from:

  • CAE Designees — Celebrate the achievement, inspire others, and show what professional growth looks like in your own words.

  • Volunteers — Your dedication powers this community. Share why you give back and how others can too.

  • Partners & Sponsors — We want to hear how you’re helping associations move forward.

  • Attendees at Large — What’s one big idea you’re taking home from ASAE Annual 2025?

This isn’t just about promotion — it’s about co-creation. We’ll show what it means to build video content with your community, not just for them.

We’re creating a living, breathing portrait of what this industry looks like when everyone is seen, heard, and valued.

Let’s Make It Unforgettable

In addition to the content capture, product demos, and workshops, we were a part of the Success Crew, where you can win up to $5,000 in cash (plus a $5K donation to the LA Fire Department Foundation). And don’t miss the Wrap Party at Tom’s Watch Bar — Sunday, August 10 from 5:30–8:00 PM. Good vibes guaranteed.

If you're building the future of associations — whether you're a membership professional, tech leader, or just passionate about your cause — Gather Voices wants to talk to you.

🗣 Bring your voice. We’ll help you amplify it.
