Just posted this in the ITA thread and will drop it here as well. This is the type (though not the exact same $$) of structure that we could have for 90 Minds. https://www.italliance.com/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=ITA&WebCode=CONSTITUENCY

Knowing what we know about the 90 Minds MotM ... the ITA must be making a crap ton of money. I don't see a lot of member services ... what am I missing? I think we offer more value - because we have a specific mission - for a lower fee. Am I wrong?

So it is now $4,000 to join then $750/year afterwards plus two conferences at $XXX each. Yikes!

How big is the membership, any ideas?

My sentiment exactly @ThereseLogeais! They really want to shoo away the smaller firms. I think they have a 100+ firms.

About 250 +/- members seem to attend every year. I know attendance has been very steady and it's not a rotating stream of mom and pop newbies like you sometimes see at Summit. There's not a lot of first timers which makes it nice --- and a little intimidating until you go for a couple years. I remember Joanne telling me the member count and I want to say they typically were getting 225-250 at their meetings and the total membership count wasn't far up from that - -perhaps 300 (+/-). The meeting is expensive because they tend to be held at higher end hotels. The ITA springs for hot breakfast and lunch (figure $35 per head for each meal). If we could swing a discounted membership from ITA for 90 Minders (the 90 Minder would pay directly) it might be an interesting idea to piggy-back a 90 Minds meeting of some sort on a day in advance of ITA meeting. Literally all of the major players in our industry are there -- and we certainly would have an opportunity to meet with them if we wanted.

Well, it would be nice to see if we could get a 90Minds membership and make it available to the Fellowship (not OASIS). Could be construed as a significant benefit and reason to be active in 90Minds. I am extremely interested after the recent posts.
