SmithBucklin is uniquely qualified to manage international organizations and assignments, offering experience in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Asia. Today, we manage 22 international associations, many with boards of directors spanning multiple continents and time zones. We also manage between 20 and 30 international conferences each year. Our staff offers deep experience in coordinating international relationships and handling the numerous details necessary to put on successful international events.

We are sensitive to the way business operates in other cultures and avoid the typical American-centric approaches that often plague other businesses. Because we routinely work with individuals and organizations from other countries and cultures, we also offer the resources, experience and ability to create relationships with affiliated country organizations, chapters and members overseas.

In addition, SmithBuckin is the only association management company to offer international alliances with MCI and the International Conference Network.
