Hello Austin Marketers!

 

As we head into summer, AMA Austin is bringing the heat with exciting opportunities for growth, connection, and learning.

This month’s calendar is packed with diverse events designed to match your schedule and interests—from a caffeine-fueled morning meetup to a virtual lunch and learn focused on intentional travel (Yes! You read that right ✈️), an evening fireside chat about turning your passion projects into paid work, and a membership info session. Whether online or in person, each gathering is an opportunity to expand your network, learn something new, and stay ahead in the marketing game.

We're also shining a spotlight on resources to help you sharpen your skills and fuel your next big idea. Check out March’s DeLorean interview recording, our essential guides to marketing roles and networking, and more.

If you're ready to get more involved, consider joining the AMA Austin volunteer team. Whether you're into content creation, event planning, or community engagement, we’ve got a place for you. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, build relationships, and contribute to the thriving marketing community here in Austin.
