Testimonials
When I moved to Brooklyn back in 2010, joining Metro NYSAE was one of the best moves I ever made. Membership in ASAE just wasn't enough once I was outside the Beltway, and I craved more connection. Even as I've continued to grow, taking on opportunities to work across industries and borders globally, Metro NYSAE keeps me grounded and connected to my people right here at home. The fact that CAE-approved continuing education comes with membership? That’s just icing on the cake -- and I like cake!

As an association leader, there’s no event I prioritize more than Meet NY. It’s an unparalleled experience that blends exceptional education, invaluable networking, and the unique opportunity to engage with my hospitality partners. The content and insights delivered throughout the event are top-notch, offering fresh perspectives and actionable takeaways that we can immediately apply to our work. But what really makes Meet NY stand out is the chance to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and collaborate with key partners. And let’s not forget the Broadway experience—a fitting and memorable finale to a day packed with meaningful conversations and new insights. For anyone in our industry, Meet NY is an absolute must-attend. It’s where relationships are built, ideas are sparked, and the future of our field takes shape.
