As headline partners of Memcom for 2025, we at GRM Digital and Research by Design are honoured to be supporting the membership sector not just at the Memcom Conference in May, but throughout the entire year.
This year's theme – Championing Professionalism – couldn’t be more relevant. Across the sector, membership organisations are navigating increasing complexity, shifting member needs, and growing expectations around transparency, impact, and trust. Yet through it all, professionalism remains the unshakable foundation that unites us all – and sets us apart.
Memcom brings together the changemakers, leaders and innovators who are advancing professional standards across every part of society. That’s why we’re excited to be involved, and proud to help support those doing the hard work of keeping their professions relevant, respected and resilient.
What Makes Memcom Conference 2025 So Valuable?
Held in London this May, the Memcom Conference is the flagship event in the membership sector calendar. It’s where strategic ideas meet real-world challenges, and where the conversations are always rooted in sector reality, with a healthy dose of innovation.
This year’s theme invites us to ask some big questions:
- What does professionalism look like in 2025 – and beyond
- How do we support our members through change, while holding true to our values?
- How do we equip organisations to lead with purpose, confidence and clarity?
Sessions we’re especially excited about include:
- "Ethics vs the Bottom Line" – tackling whether EDI and sustainability still have a place when budgets are under pressure.
- "Change or Die" – urging organisations to stop clinging to outdated practices and create space for innovation.
- "What Will the Membership Sector Look Like in 2035?" – a powerful closing plenary imagining the next decade of transformation, with insights from some of the sector’s sharpest minds.
Why We’re Involved
At GRM Digital, we’re proud to support professional bodies through smart, future-ready digital experiences — from website design and CRM integration to ongoing digital optimisation. We help organisations better connect with their members and deliver value at every touchpoint.
At Research by Design, we deliver research that helps membership organisations stay responsive, grounded in evidence and ready for what’s next — qualities that define professionalism. We do this by consulting with members across every profession and sector, giving us a front-row view of the challenges they’re facing and the standards they’re upholding. With membership insight and a clear understanding of the dynamics of professionals, we help organisations lead with confidence.
Partnering with Memcom gives us both a space to support the sector we care deeply about, and to continue learning from the people and organisations pushing it forward.
Why Conferences Like Memcom Matter
As two organisations working closely with professional bodies, we know how important it is to pause and reflect — especially when there’s so much change happening around us. Conferences like Memcom offer that space: a chance to connect with peers, challenge assumptions, and spark new thinking.
It’s more than just a day of talks — it’s a moment to recharge your sense of purpose and reconnect with why this work matters.
See You There?
