The TaleWind team debriefs ASAE Annual 2026 and the association trends that stood out: the AI shift, the eLearning surge, and what happens to the print magazine next.

Fresh from Indianapolis, Dan Stevens sits down with Breanna Perrelli and Kristy Devantier of TaleWind Digital to share what association leaders are working on right now: member engagement, non-dues revenue, AI use cases, and digital publishing.

Inside this episode:

  • Why the AI sessions finally got practical, including a persona-bank use case from Ellipses LLC and the American Society of Appraisers
  • The stats behind the eLearning surge: continuing education, certifications, and professional development ranked the top three most valued member offerings
  • What association leaders told us about lean teams, shrinking conference attendance, and new revenue streams
  • How to take a print association magazine digital without losing readers or sponsors
  • ASAE’s “Trust Associations” push and showing up for both human search and AI search
  • Why “community building” vanished from session titles this year, and what replaced it
