Your AMA membership doesn’t stop when the event ends.

There’s a lot available to members beyond in-person programming.

Through AMA National, members have access to professional development, 30+ free training courses, enhanced marketing toolkits, member-only programming, early access to research, and savings on courses and conference registrations.

Those resources can help whether you are building a strategy, sharpening skills, preparing for what is next in your career, or simply trying not to start every project from scratch.

AMA New York gives the local community opportunities to connect in-person. Broader AMA membership provides resources that you can use throughout the year.

AMA National membership pricing changes on October 20th.

There is still something different about being in the room.

A strong panel can give you ideas. A good conversation can give you perspective. And sometimes, the most valuable part of an event is the person you meet before it starts or the conversation that continues after it ends.

That’s something we hear again and again from people who attend AMA New York programs: the value is not only in what happens on stage - but in the connections made around it.

We want our events to create space for marketers to learn from one another, meet people outside their usual circles, and have conversations that continue well beyond a single evening.

That’s AMA New York at work.

AMA National membership pricing changes October 20th.

Already an AMA member? You don’t have to wait to renew.

AMA National membership pricing changes on October 20th. Current members can renew early and extend their membership for another 12 months before the new pricing takes effect.

And while you’re here, make sure you’re using the membership you already have.

AMA New York members can attend select programs at no charge, receive member pricing on others, connect with marketing leaders and fellow professionals across the New York marketing community, and access the broader resources available through AMA National.

Current member? Renew before October 20th

Who is missing from the room where decisions are made?

Marketing begins with assumptions about people: what they need, what they value, how they behave, and what they will understand. Even strong data cannot explain every lived experience.

Inclusive thinking asks us to look beyond the people and conditions we know best. Who was not represented in the research? What barriers have we normalized? Which communities appear in the data but remain absent from the decisions?

Better marketing begins when we are willing to examine our own assumptions and listen for what we may have missed.

Inclusive By Design is an invitation to do that work together: https://www.amanewyork.org/event/inclusive-by-design/

09/23/2026

How do we design with people, not simply for them?

Karen Lynch will moderate a conversation with Susette Brooks, Angela Lean, Fred Moltz, and Lola Bakare about the decisions that determine who is seen, who can participate, and whose knowledge helps shape what comes next.

Together, they bring perspectives on inclusive marketing, accessibility, inclusive innovation, storytelling, research, and marketing responsibility.

This is not a panel assembled to repeat the same answer. Different experiences reveal different barriers. Different perspectives reveal new possibilities.

Meet the full Inclusive By Design panel and join us on October 1st at McNally Amphitheatre.

Stories help people understand the world and their place within it. They can make someone feel seen, or quietly tell them that they were never part of the audience.

Brooks, MFA, Director of Inclusive Marketing at Random House, helps connect multicultural audiences with stories created for them. Her work demonstrates why inclusive marketing is about more than representation. It is also about trust, belonging, access, and growth.

At Inclusive By Design, Susette will help us consider what changes when marketers treat people as participants in the story, not simply as targets of a campaign.

Better questions help us notice who is missing.

Lynch has spent decades listening closely to people and helping organizations understand what sits beneath the surface. As Chief Programming Officer & Chief of Staff at , she shapes conversations about research, innovation, and the human experiences behind the data.

Karen will moderate Inclusive By Design and help our panel examine the assumptions that influence marketing and innovation. Who was included in the research? Whose experience shaped the brief? What might we learn if we listen differently?
