ASAE Annual Meeting & Expo · Indianapolis 2026

Purpose shows up in the habits of an ordinary week.

You came to Indianapolis for ideas. Leave with something your team can act on Monday. One organization at this meeting wins a full AI readiness assessment, at no cost. Enter while you are here.

August 15–18, 2026 Indiana Convention Center Entries close August 21
How it works

Enter here, then about three weeks.

  1. 1

    Enter the drawing

    One short form while you are at the show. Entries close August 21, so you have time to talk it through with your team back home. We draw one winner on August 24 and Sarah calls that day.

  2. 2

    Your whole staff answers

    About 15 minutes per person, so the score reflects the whole organization rather than one person's read of it.

  3. 3

    Sit down with the read

    A 90-minute conversation, a scored report covering your organization's AI readiness strengths and gaps, and prioritized next actions.

The giveaway

One organization leaves with a measured read on AI.

Your team is already asking how they should be using AI. Your board wants to know whether the organization is equipped for what is coming. NARI gives you a scored answer to bring to both conversations.

The Navigate AI Readiness Instrument

An organization-wide read on how you are navigating AI: capability, governance, capacity and culture.

  • A 0–100 Readiness Index and a report you can hand to the board
  • A 90-minute consultation with a Coraggio strategist
  • Prioritized next actions, sized for the staff you have

Next: organizational health, measured.

The bigger question association leaders keep bringing us: is this organization built to deliver what we just promised our members?

We are finishing an assessment that scores that across the nine dimensions of our Organizational Effectiveness Model. ASAE attendees get first access and a pilot rate.

One email the week it opens, plus the pilot rate. Nothing else. Sign up just below.

Let's talk about what your organization is becoming.

“The changes that matter most usually start with how a team decides to spend its time together. That is something most organizations can begin to change in a matter of weeks.”
