Increase sales with smooth group registration

FAQ

Event technology for associations should support a wide range of virtual, hybrid, and in-person event experiences. Accelevents for example handles:

  • Annual conferences
  • Workshops, seminars and training sessions
  • Networking events
  • Fundraising galas
  • Board meetings and committee sessions
  • Membership recruitment events
  • Awards ceremonies
  • Virtual events of any size, from webinars to virtual conferences

Association event management software needs member and non-member pricing, continuing education (CE) credit tracking, exhibitor and sponsor sales, an event app, check-in with badge printing, and customer relationship management (CRM) integrations. Accelevents includes all of these on one platform, with onboarding and training included.

Associations run hybrid events by streaming main sessions to remote members while in-person attendees check in onsite. Both groups use the same agenda, event app, and continuing education (CE) tracking, so remote members earn credits and exhibitors reach both audiences.

We provide diverse integration options. Connect with leading customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo. Additionally, use the Accelevents application programming interface (API) to integrate with association management systems (AMS), membership management systems, and beyond.

No. An AMS manages member records, dues, and renewals, while Accelevents manages your events: registration, agendas, check-in, badges, the event app, and continuing education tracking. The two work side by side, connected through the Accelevents API or integrations such as Zapier, so event registrations and attendance can flow back to member records.

Create separate registration types for members and non-members, each with its own price, dates, and quantity. Use access codes or discount codes so only members can unlock the member rate, and add early-bird pricing to reward members who register early. Group registration lets a member organization buy several tickets in one purchase.

Open a call for speakers early, then build a multi-track agenda and mark the sessions that qualify for continuing education credit. Secure the venue and hotel room blocks, sell exhibitor and sponsor packages, and set member and non-member registration pricing. Onsite, run check-in with badge printing, and afterward share recordings and survey results with members.

Give members ways to connect and contribute, not just attend. Popular ideas include first-timer orientations, interest-based networking sessions, member-led sessions, awards and recognition, and gamification challenges with a live leaderboard. Offering continuing education credit and on-demand recordings also gives members lasting value after the event.
