Sidecar provides AI education to association and nonprofit professionals through content, community, and events.
Sidecar, a Blue Cypress company, is THE AI education company built exclusively for associations. For years, we’ve been at the center of helping association leaders navigate technological change, equipping them not just to adapt, but to lead with confidence through moments of disruption and transformation.
As part of the Blue Cypress family, we are grounded in a deep commitment to strengthening the association ecosystem. Our work has always focused on one core belief: when association leaders are better equipped, their teams perform better, their members are better served, and their organizations become more resilient.
Through cornerstone programs like digitalNow, the AI Learning Hub, The AAiP certification, and a wide range of additional educational offerings and free resources, Sidecar has become a trusted and consistent source of insight, training, and practical guidance for the association community. These offerings have been staples of association education for years, helping leaders modernize operations, elevate member experiences, and confidently guide their teams through technological transition.
Today, we focus that legacy squarely on AI. Through practical training, certification, and real-world use cases, Sidecar turns AI from a buzzword into a strategic advantage for associations.
Our mission is bold and clear: to educate 1 million association professionals on AI, empowering the people who power associations to lead responsibly and effectively in an AI-driven world.
