Registration is open for the 2025 AHRI Leadership Forum, to be held November 16-18 at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas! This year’s event has been optimized to offer new features for first-time attendees, while enhancing the existing opportunities to advance industry needs and connect with peers.

 

New Features for First-Time Attendees

The 2025 Leadership Forum includes several new options for first-time attendees and those who want to become more involved. In addition to the sessions detailed below, this year’s event name badges will denote first-time attendees to encourage conversations during networking events.

  • AHRI 101 – You and Your Association: Opportunities for Leadership and Partnership: This streamlined, 30-minute session serves as an ideal introduction to the Leadership Forum by explaining all that your trade association does or can do.
  • First-Time Attendee/Emerging Association Leaders Cocktail Reception: Immediately following AHRI 101, this offers first-time attendees the chance to expand their AHRI network with key association staff and fellow members.
  • Emerging Leader Sessions: Aimed toward early- and mid-career professionals, these sessions explore new ways to contribute to the industry and get involved in the association.

Expanded Options for Returning Attendees

Returning participants can look forward to the familiar highlights that make the Leadership Forum invaluable year after year, along with new agenda updates to address the current industry landscape.

  • Regulatory Office Hours: AHRI’s policy team will host dedicated office hours on Monday and Tuesday to provide the opportunity to drop in, ask questions, and discuss regulatory issues.
  • Revamped Product Groups: Back by popular demand, the Leadership Forum will once again feature product group meetings that have been streamlined with a focused agenda to maximize participation and productivity.
