The Membership Advantage – How Human-centric Digital Leadership will Turn AI, Data and Community into Growth

Andrew is the opening keynote speaker at the Memberwise Digital Excellence 2026 event in London on May 7.

As AI reshapes how organisations create value, membership bodies have a unique advantage: trusted communities, powerful networks, and deep sector expertise – but only if they act now.

To unlock this advantage, leaders must rethink how digital, data and human insight come together to deliver everyday value for members.

In this energising opening keynote, Global AI Expert and Actionable Futurist Andrew Grill will cut through the noise to show what digital leadership looks like right now, and what it needs to become, and how being “digitally curious” is a must in an AI driven world.

He’ll share the models, behaviours and mindsets that the most successful organisations are using to stay ahead and demonstrate how associations can translate these into stronger engagement, smarter commercial decisions, and sustained growth.

This session sets the tone for the day: clear, practical, actionable and designed to help membership leaders take confident steps forward in a fast-moving environment.

Learning objectives:

• Build a digital leadership mindset that accelerates transformation rather than stalls it
• Discover the three digital behaviours most closely linked to membership growth and how to implement them
• Use AI confidently to improve member value, personalisation and operational efficiency
• Identify the three digital behaviours most closely linked to membership growth
• Create a realistic roadmap for the next 12–24 months — focused on impact, not hype

To help you continue learning after his keynote, Andrew will be selling signed copies of his international best-selling book Digitally Curious at the event.
