Show notes

We are in the midst of a Creator Renaissance and Vivian Chan is ready for it. Vivian believes that disruption often starts at the intersection of things — with many of the best ideas coming from outside one's immediate domain or industry.

As a technology executive, Vivian has been involved in the launch monetization, sales, and marketing management for three different waves of disruptive technologies — Analytics, Cloud, and AR/VR (the intersection of 3D and AI).

With more than 20 years of experience working with companies of all sizes, Vivian has been focused on scaling high-growth start-ups over the past few years. Currently, Vivian is the Global Head of Digital Sales at NexTech AR Solutions — the leading Virtual Experience Platform that combines enterprise-scale Virtual Events with the enchantment of Augmented Reality.

Squeezing Non-Dues Revenue Out of Your AMS Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

The world suddenly changed, but should your AMS? Maybe not. What non-dues revenue sources are lying in wait with your current AMS? Maybe more than you think!

For this episode of Association Chat, we talk about APIs and how your current AMS could be helping you with everything from virtual event fees, certification exam charges, e-Learning proceeds to eCommerce sales and so much more! What AMS does all that? Most of them now, because they have increasingly robust APIs!

We ask:

What are Application Programmer Interfaces?
Why should association executives care?
What is the low-hanging fruit for squeezing more dollars from your AMS in non-dues revenue?

Guests Anirudh "Rudy" Pandya, Owens Gollamandala, and Tom McClintock discuss all this and much, much more as we chatted about "Squeezing Non-Dues Revenue Out of Your AMS" on this episode of Association Chat!

Questions can Amplify Your Growth Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

What's the first thing you typed into Google today? Was it a question? What kind of question was it?

Questions are a phenomenal place to start if you ever want to get closer to understanding something – whatever it is. And that's what I'm thinking about today when it comes to business and how we can better show up for ourselves and the people we serve. So I invite you to come along and think about it with me on this week's inaugural episode of Amplified Growth with me, KiKi L'Italien.
