As part of our membership, Stratford is now featured in CSAE’s Association Marketplace—an interactive platform designed to connect association professionals with trusted businesses. This first-of-its-kind resource for the Canadian association sector serves as a "buyer’s guide brought to life"—a resource for suppliers to showcase their business and connect with association professionals seeking products and services to help them succeed. 

With the Association Marketplace, association professionals can:

  • Discover quality solutions trusted by other CSAE members.
  • “Like,” “follow,” and recommend their favorite suppliers.
  • Build custom “shortlists” of potential vendors for their needs.
  • Access exclusive “membership perks” offered by participating suppliers.
