What is ASBPE?
The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) is the professional association for B2B editorial professionals. ASBPE is dedicated to recognizing editorial excellence, fostering an inclusive community of B2B professionals, providing educational and job advancement resources, and raising the profile of B2B media.
ASBPE is widely known for its annual Azbee Awards of Excellence competition, which recognizes the best in editorial, design and online achievement. The organization also ASBPEvolve: The Biggest B2B Editorial Summit annually, as well as webinars and networking discussions (free or discounted for members).
ASBPE offers individual memberships and corporate memberships. Membership is available to qualified B2B journalists and other professionals. Membership benefits include discounted registration for events, webinars and the national conference; discounted entry fees for the Azbee Awards; and participation in cohorts and networking discussions to further the craft.
B2B media professionals and others who support our mission may show their support through donations. While ASBPE is a 501(c)(6) non-profit, meaning donations are not tax-deductible, such contributions are critical to keeping valuable programming and services free for ASBPE members.
Founded in 1964 as the American Society of Business Press Editors, the official name was changed to the American Society of Business Publication Editors in 1997 and to ASBPE in 2012.
How ASBPE is governed?
ASBPE and its initiatives are governed by the ASBPE National Board of Directors and its volunteer committees. Our complete Constitution and Bylaws can be found here. Chapter programming is managed by local or regional leadership.
