What is an Association Management Company?
An Association Management Company (AMC) provides professional management and leadership services to trade associations and professional societies. Acting as your association’s headquarters, an AMC handles daily operations, staffing, and administrative functions, allowing your Board of Directors to focus on strategic goals.
AMCs offer services such as executive leadership, financial management, strategic planning, marketing, event planning, professional development, website management, and more. They bring industry best practices, continuity, and expertise to associations of all sizes and sectors—local to international—serving as a trusted partner in achieving long-term success.
Turn-Key Event Planning & Coordination
Event planning is one of our core specialties. We coordinate a wide range of association events, including:
- Conferences & Seminars
- Fundraisers & Tradeshows
- Golf Tournaments
- Board Meetings & Retreats
- Spouse Programs & Plant Tours
We handle all pre-event logistics—venue selection, site visits, contract negotiation, menu planning, and on-site coordination—so your Board and committees can focus on the big picture.
Our team manages registration from start to finish, ensuring a seamless experience for attendees. The goal: a memorable event that delivers value, fosters connections, and leaves people excited for the next one.
Site Selection/Contract & Consultation Services
ATD offers complimentary site selection services to our association clients, researching venues that match your event criteria. Whether as part of full-service management or a standalone offering, we assist with RFPs, site selection, and contract negotiation to secure the best value and location for your group.
Even associations with in-house staff often rely on our expertise to find cost-saving opportunities. We review past contracts and invoices to identify areas of overspending—helping you reallocate funds toward member benefits and organizational growth.
We’re also available to support organizations or government agencies solely with conference planning, site selection, and contract services for annual or bi-annual events.
