AC Forum member meet-ups are intended to enhance member networking, peer-to-peer exchange, and active personal engagement, with the objective of strengthening the bond between members and encouraging more individuals from more member organisations to become more actively involved in what AC Forum does. Members are invited to organise local social events or meet-ups for staff of member associations in their area, with some funding provided by AC Forum.

AC Forum will provide some funding towards one event in each location per year. The budget is not intended to fund the events entirely, but to be a contribution towards each one.

It is recognised that there are clusters of member organisations in some cities / areas and for the pilot initiative in 2025, members in five city hubs – Amsterdam, Brussels, Geneva, London, and Vienna – are invited to organise a meet-up between themselves, with local AC Forum colleagues.

The member meet-up in Vienna took place on 14 May between four member associations.
