Professional associations

For associations bringing members together, year after year.

Annual meetings, chapter gatherings and education days repeat, but the people change. Gathersmith keeps ticket eligibility, speakers, sessions and your team in one event workspace, and clones last year's structure into a draft so you start from what worked.

Annual meetings, education days and chapter gatherings

Everyone your event depends on, connected.

  • Members

    See the ticket types they are eligible for, and nothing they are not.

  • Speakers

    Submit once, hear back clearly and find their session on the published program.

  • Program committee

    Review proposals with clear reviewer assignments instead of a shared inbox.

  • Your staff

    Start from last year's structure, not a blank page.

Workflow

Your annual meeting, from draft to doors

  1. Months out

    Clone last year into a draft

    Copy tracks, ticket types and team positions into a new draft. Registrations and activity stay with last year's event.

  2. Call for proposals

    Open submissions and assign reviewers

    Prospective speakers submit publicly. Reviewers get assignments, reviews are collected and accepted speakers move onto sessions.

  3. Registration

    Publish eligible ticket types

    Member, non-member, student or speaker tickets, each restricted by the eligibility rules you configure and open during its own sale window.

  4. Program

    Place sessions in rooms and publish

    Arrange tracks and time slots privately, then publish the schedule and speaker profiles when it is ready.

  5. On the day

    Check in arrivals and sessions

    Scan event admission passes at the door. Where your organization defines learning-credit rules, session check-in records the attendance evidence those rules call for.

Credits on your terms

  • Define learning-credit rules per event, only where your organization offers credits.
  • Session check-in records the attendance evidence your rules call for.
  • Ticket eligibility is set per ticket type, so each audience sees the right options.

Choosing an edition

Choose an edition around the size and program of your annual meeting, chapter gathering or education day. Compare current pricing, per-event allowances and annual options on the pricing page.

Questions organizers ask

+How do member-only tickets work?

Configure eligibility rules on each ticket type, such as member, non-member, student or speaker, so attendees see the options meant for them.

+Can we issue continuing-education certificates?

Yes, when your organization defines learning-credit rules. Session check-in records the attendance evidence those rules call for; accreditation remains your organization's decision.

+Does cloning copy last year's attendees?

No. Cloning copies structure into a new draft, so you start fresh registration on a familiar setup.
