Association Event Software

Association event software is a purpose-built platform designed to help professional associations plan, manage, and execute member events. It can handle annual conferences and trade shows to chapter meetings, webinars, and continuing education programs.
Unlike general event management tools, association event software is built around the specific workflows associations rely on: member pricing, AMS integration, CE credit tracking, and multi-event logistics. It centralizes registration, check-in, attendee tracking, and reporting in one place, so association staff can manage complex event programs without juggling multiple disconnected platforms.

Most association event platforms — including Momentive — offer native integrations with leading association management software systems such as Nimble AMS, NetForum, and YourMembership. These integrations allow event registration data to sync directly into member records, so membership status, pricing tiers, and CE credits are always up to date without manual data entry. Real-time membership verification at registration ensures members receive the correct pricing, while post-event data flows back into the AMS to maintain accurate attendance history and engagement records.

Yes. Momentive supports multiple registration pricing tiers, including member, non-member, student, and chapter-based pricing — all within a single event registration workflow. Real-time membership verification automatically applies the correct price based on a registrant’s current membership status, reducing manual review and pricing errors. It also supports early-bird pricing, coupons, and group registration discounts.

Yes. Momentive’s CE credit claiming solution is built for the continuing education workflows associations manage, with board and license issuance reporting included. Members access a personalized web portal to claim credits, complete evaluations, and manage their CE history in one place. Attendee tracking uses session scanning to verify time-in-attendance and award credits accurately, eliminating the errors common with manual sign-in sheets. Reporting tools cover awarded credits by user, session, and course.

Momentive supports the full range of association event types including annual conferences, trade shows, chapter meetings, webinars, virtual and hybrid events, and multi-day continuing education programs. The platform is built to scale from small regional gatherings to large national conferences with thousands of attendees. Whether your association runs a single flagship event each year or manages dozens of programs across multiple chapters, Momentive’s event management tools adapt to your calendar and complexity.

Momentive provides real-time reporting and analytics across every stage of your event. Organizers can track registration volume, revenue, session attendance, and member engagement — before, during, and after the event. Reports are exportable for board presentations, post-event analysis, and stakeholder updates.
During the event, live dashboards give staff visibility into check-in progress and session attendance in real time. After the event, that data supports a complete picture of member participation, program performance, and revenue—with filtering and segmentation by membership tier, chapter, and event type. This reporting access gives association professionals the evidence they need to make data-backed decisions for future events.

General event management software is built for a broad range of use cases — conferences, trade shows, corporate meetings — and focuses primarily on logistics like registration and scheduling. Association event software is purpose-built for the specific workflows associations rely on: member pricing, AMS integration, CE credit tracking, and multi-chapter event management.
The key differences are in what happens around the event itself. Association event software connects event data to your AMS and member records, applies the correct pricing tier based on real-time membership verification, and supports CE credit claiming and reporting that general tools don’t offer. If your events exist to serve members, advance professional development, and strengthen chapter engagement, general-purpose tools typically leave gaps that association-specific software is designed to fill.

Yes. Momentive supports in-person, virtual, and hybrid event formats, so associations can deliver consistent member experiences regardless of how attendees participate. Virtual and hybrid events include online registration and ticketing within the same platform your staff uses for in-person programs. You can expect a native event player for webcasting and live streaming, plus integrations with Zoom, GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, and Adobe Connect. You can run events yourself or leverage Momentive’s fully managed production services.

Pricing varies depending on the platform, the size of your events, and the features your association needs. Some providers charge per event or per registrant, while others offer annual subscriptions with tiered pricing based on functionality.
