Soft Opening — Founding Members Welcome

The Community
You’ve Been
Waiting For.

The new home for association publishing, communications, and membership marketing professionals.

Association Publishing & Communication Professionals (APCP)

Let’s be honest —
something's been missing

Association publishing, communications, and membership marketing professionals are navigating a rapidly changing landscape: the impact of AI; the convergence of media, marketing and content; and the constant pressure to increase member engagement. We haven't had a dedicated professional home built around the work we do.

...until now.

Built by former AM&P leaders and volunteers, APCP is a grassroots effort to revitalize our community and move us forward together. APCP connects association professionals with relationships, education, and experiences designed and built by your community for your community.

What to expect

Real value, built for the work you actually do.

Real-world learning

Practical education led by working association media leaders.

Meaningful connections

Peer relationships, mentorship, and a steady drumbeat of conversation.

A community that gets it

Conversations rooted in our craft — publishing, comms, marketing.

Be there from the beginning

Founding members shape what APCP becomes.
