What our members say...

After going to YOUR EVENT end of 2022, I tell people, if you have to choose between Event A, B or ClubVMSA, I would choose ClubVMSA because the venue is intimate, the conversations are more open – where other events it feels more regurgitated. I highly recommend ClubVMSA events.

Thank you for bringing us together and hosting such an impactful event.

Irenee French

Director, HR @ 4DMT

ClubVMSA balances virtual and in-person events SO WELL and I believe it is a model that other organizations supporting other industries could follow. While I love the in-person events, I totally agree there is a (substantial) place for building strong virtual pathways to delivering information and making connections.
