Session Overview Let’s retrofit your association components for the 21st century! Join us for a Component Hack-a-thon led by a group of association pros who have been experimenting with technology and new models to create success with their chapters and other components. Not brainstorming, we’re jump-starting change to supporting, training, and structuring components. With guidance from association pros who will share a game-changing story, work in groups to “hacking” away at old processes and ways of handling chapters and other components. Topics – to be chosen by participants – will focus on issues like leadership training and development, applying tech tools and software to support and optimize components and designing the future chapter.

What The Session Is 
The session is a mini-hackathon. That’s right we’re taking the hackathon model and retrofitting it to a 90-minute session.
 
What We're Doing
<UL>
<LI>We’re prototyping a product/service that solves a shared issue; we’re building a solution. Not just a technology solution...think new tool/process.</LI>
<LI>
 Bring your ideas and questions that we can integrate into the solutions we’re building.
</LI>
<LI>We’re working towards concepts that we can collectively “take to market.” </LI>
</UL>
 
What It’s NOT & What We’re Not Doing
<UL>
<LI>This is not a topic roundtable where we share best practices, ideas, or lessons learned. </LI>
<LI>It’s not a traditional brainstorming where we come up with a list of ideas.</LI>
</UL>
 
What You Can Do to Come Ready to Hack
<OL>
<LI>Explore each of these topics and choose one you want to work on. You’ll join the designated team at the beginning of the session. </LI>
<LI>Practice saying “yes, and __________.” </LI>
<LI> Tweet or post I’m going to #ComponentHackathon18 </LI>
<LI>Do your own homework on the topic. Consider these questions: a. What would make the “perfect” product/service? How would you describe or measure a successful product? b. What are the challenges to be solved? c. Have you seen examples in the association market or beyond that can be applied? </LI>
</OL>
Component Hackathon Topics These topics were voted on by the association community! 
<OL>
<LI>The Ultimate Component Management Tool for Association Staﬀ Let’s create the solution which enables staﬀ to streamline and optimize how they manage chapters. Think chapter management in a box!</LI>
<LI>The Un-Chapter Solution (a Chapter Design Without Traditional Structure)  Let’s design the chapter of the future which focuses on purpose (meaningful activity that delivers sufcient value) and reduces the infrastructure required. Simulate those values on a more ad-hoc informal basis. Think a better mousetrap!</LI>
<LI>The Ultimate Component Leader Portal Let’s create the ultimate component leader portal that serves volunteers and staﬀ embracing the concepts of just-in-time learning, 24/7 access & collaboration. Think Alexa for chapter questions!</LI>
<LI>Components as Incubators Let’s create a model where associations can leverage components as innovation incubators for their respective trade/profession/industry – thus creating a path for components to deliver value to the parent association. Think the in-house innovation lab!</LI>
