June 22, 2023

WASHINGTON— ASAE has confirmed that the legendary group TLC will perform for ASAE attendees during the Opening Celebration of the 2023 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition on Saturday, Aug. 5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Formed in Atlanta in the early 1990s, TLC is the best-selling American girl group of all time. Having sold over 85 million records worldwide, TLC has had epic success, scoring four Grammy Awards, nine top-10 hits, over 35 major awards, five MTV Music Video Awards and five Soul Train Awards including Video of the Year Award for “Waterfalls,” Billboard’s Hot 100, and four number-one singles: “Creep,” “No Scrubs,” “Waterfalls,” and “Unpretty.”

“ASAE is thrilled to have TLC perform for ASAE Annual Meeting attendees this year in their hometown,” said ASAE President and CEO Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE. “The list of reasons to attend the 2023 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition just got longer. We can’t wait to welcome the association community to Atlanta for a transformational learning and engagement experience this summer.”

The 2023 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition is taking place Aug. 5-8 at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center. In addition to the Opening Celebration, ASAE and the city of Atlanta will welcome Annual Meeting attendees with a wide range of entertainment experiences that include the ASAE Research Foundation’s The Classic (separate registration required), taking place Monday, Aug. 7 at the Georgia Aquarium – the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere; and the Closing Celebration – a “Rock the Block Party” taking place Tuesday, Aug. 8 in Atlanta’s Centennial Park District.

“From meeting venues to food and entertainment, we cannot wait to showcase Atlanta during ASAE’s Annual Meeting in August,” said William Pate, president and CEO, Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Our hospitality industry has been preparing for this event for months, and we look forward to welcoming everyone and highlighting new developments in our destination.”

Excitement is building for this summer’s Super Bowl of association conventions, and the Association Solutions Marketplace (Expo) is officially SOLD OUT. Fortunately, there’s still time to register! Check out the schedule with more than 115 learning sessions designed to help association professionals shape their purpose, including our Main Stage speakers who will inspire and motivate attendees to make the most of their ASAE learning experience.
