Why Choose Clowder’s Event Management Software?

Clowder can help your organization future-proof its events and integrate them into your broader engagement strategy. Here are just a few of its defining characteristics for event management.
Event and Year-Round Engagement

Although there are many event apps on the market, most of these platforms either focus entirely on event management or have a desktop-first online community counterpart. Clowder, meanwhile, is a year-round member engagement app with built-in event features. This structure allows members to conveniently access all of your membership offerings from the same mobile-native platform.
Comprehensive Experience Curation

With Clowder, your organization can deliver fully customizable, mobile-first event experiences. You’ll give attendees everything they need to navigate and connect with your organization before, during, and after each event. Clowder also meets your event participants where they likely are—on their smartphones—while still offering flexibility for desktop use via the Clowder Web add-on.
User-Friendly, Custom Interface

Your organization can customize its app’s navigation and branding (logo, colors, fonts, etc.) in a fully white-labeled environment when using Clowder. This way, event participants will trust that they’re downloading the right app and feel like they’re in a familiar space when they open it. Plus, with the app’s social media-like interface, you’ll minimize the post-download learning curve and encourage engagement during and outside of events.
Full Control in the Command Center

The web-based backend administrative aspect of your app allows for full content and user management with minimal technical expertise required. You can view app engagement data in your Command Center to determine what strategies are working and where you could improve your approach for future events. If your association has multiple chapters or subgroups that each host their own events, we’ve got you covered there, too.

Key Features of Clowder’s Event Management Solution

 
Event Management Hub

Tailor the app experience with a modular layout that provides easy access to engagement opportunities, resources, and livestreams. Use scannable QR codes to speed up check-ins, and send strategically timed push notifications so attendees never miss an important update from your team.
Networking Support

Issue every attendee a digital business card with a QR code that connects to their member profile for convenient relationship management. Encourage post-event networking with secure one-to-one messaging and meeting scheduling, as well as discussion forums that you can curate and moderate.
Session Interactivity

Build interactive agendas and exhibition floor maps through your app so attendees can browse sessions and booths in advance and structure their event-day schedules. Incorporate polls, Q&As, and other live event elements into sessions to hold members’ attention and collect their feedback while experiences are fresh.
Sponsor and Exhibitor Management

Maximize the value of event sponsorships and exhibitor connections for your partners, members, and organization. Use in-app promotion opportunities (e.g., banner ads, splash screens, and sponsored content) to generate interest and revenue, and leverage lead rating and retrieval to demonstrate the tangible impacts of your event partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clowder’s Event Management Software

For more answers to common questions about Clowder, check out our FAQ page. 

 

Why is a year-round membership app better than dedicated event software?

Year-round membership apps (like Clowder!) provide centralized access to two tried-and-true member engagement solutions: digital member communities and mobile event apps. This way, your organization can save money by only purchasing one system for both functions while increasing the likelihood that members will see your app as valuable, leading to more downloads and interactions.

Additionally, some organizations’ member engagement rates peak during events and then drop significantly in between. By managing events and ongoing opportunities in one platform, it’s easier to integrate the two avenues for involvement and maintain momentum from event to event.
Do Clowder’s event management features work for all event formats (in-person, virtual, and hybrid)?

Yes! The app’s event hub is customizable per event, so you can configure it to display venue maps and session room numbers, livestream links, or both, depending on your current event’s format. Your resource libraries, networking and communication features, sponsorship tools, and interactive elements will also work similarly no matter what type of event you’re hosting.
Does Clowder include features for abstract and speaker management?

No. Clowder’s event management solution primarily focuses on attendee and sponsor engagement. However, Clowder’s parent company, Advanced Solutions International (ASI), also owns the application and review platform OpenWater. OpenWater is fully equipped for every aspect of abstract and speaker management, and it integrates directly with Clowder as well as many of the same AMSs and CRMs to create a unified event management ecosystem.
How are Clowder’s event management tools priced?

Clowder’s event tools are available either as a standalone package or as part of our full year-round member engagement solution. Pricing varies based on your organization’s size and technology environment. Contact our team for a personalized quote!
