AFAMCO
Launched together by Talley and association professional Jeffers Miruka in Kenya, African Association Management Company (AFAMCO) serves national, regional, and international associations. Together through AFAMCO, Talley and Jeffers provide associations with global experience, local connections, education and opportunities on the African continent.
As part of this joint venture, Jeffers expands his outreach and can share his expertise in association management as the Executive Director of the African Association of Agricultural Economists (AAAE) and the President of the African Society of Association Executives (AfSAE). On the Talley side, we’re able to bring our international expertise to the region and help both new and existing clients expand their efforts as well.
GConvene
We're also proud to announce a new partnership with Global Healthcare Academy (GHA) in Bangalore, India. Talley and GHA have begun a targeted expansion of our combined association management services and consulting solutions in India through GConvene, the newly registered joint venture. This collaborative effort will focus on the development and advancement of India’s association community and advancing the missions of these vital organizations.
GConvene will provide a full suite of association management services to Indian, U.S. based, and international associations in India. Leveraging the GHA’s expertise and Talley’s more than 35 years of association management experience, the newly formed GConvene will drive favorable association collaborations, support new Indian association start-ups and enhance Talley’s portfolio of association clients with GHA products and services around the globe.
“After a seven-year effort to find the right partner who aligns with our core values and understands the opportunity to provide our proven model of professional service delivery to this part of the world, we are very excited to join with the leadership at Global Healthcare Academy,” said Gregg Talley, Talley’s Chief Executive Officer. Gregg added, “Talley has been a leader in global expansion within the association management industry for decades and we’ve had our eye on India because of the growing importance the country plays in the world economic and political arena.”
SAE India
Together with the Global Healthcare Academy (GHA), Talley established the Society of Association Executives of India, drawing on our experience with ASAE and supporting the creation of similar organizations such as AfSAE. With India’s fast-growing scientific engineering and healthcare sectors, this collaboration positions us as a gateway to innovation and impact for associations looking to engage in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.
Additionally, Talley has recently partnered with The Iceberg Movement. The Iceberg empowers the global business events industry to be a transformative force for economic resilience, social progress, and environmental regeneration. We unite sectors, influence policy, and accelerate the measurement of impact to ensure meetings and events aren’t just gatherings, but catalysts for global change.
The Iceberg is a global movement uniting associations, destinations, governments, and event leaders who believe business events can change the world. It connects stories, data, and people to prove, and amplify, the power of events to create lasting impact.
