• New Partnership with International Management Assistants!

  The Association of Administrative Professionals has partnered with International Management Assistants (IMA)!

  The partnership between the Association of Administrative Professionals (AAP) and International Management Assistants (IMA) expands opportunities for administrative professionals through a stronger global network. Together, they provide access to enhanced professional development, industry best practices, and international collaboration. This alliance helps elevate the profession, foster leadership growth, and equip members with the skills and connections needed to succeed in today’s dynamic workplace.

  Here’s a highlight of two upcoming events associated with IMA:

  Two events. One powerful combination. Upskilling – Learn. Level Up. Lead.

  The IMA International Conference 2026 in Berlin (23 October) and the World Administrators Summit (21–22 October) are not two separate events. They are designed to complement each other.

  The IMA International Conference 2026 focuses on application:
  – turning insights into practical approaches
  – strengthening your role as a strategic business partner
  – building skills that create real impact in your daily work

  The World Administrators Summit, led by the WA-Alliance, goes one level further. It is not a conference. It is a working meeting:
  – bringing together voices from across countries
  – discussing real challenges of the profession
  – contributing to solutions with global impact

  This is where the profession is shaped. Not just discussed.

  Register now for one of the events or both:
  52nd IMA International Annual Conference
