Why associations choose Hivebrite

Your members expect more than a standard website and listserv. They want a dynamic, engaging community hub that delivers real value, fosters meaningful connections, and is easy to access.

Connect members through enhanced networking

Enable members to find and connect with peers based on location, expertise, interests, or industry, enhancing the networking value of membership.

Elevate events

Drive engagement with seamless event registration, participation, and post-event connections in one centralized location.

Empower chapters and committees

Streamline the management of decentralized association structures by providing each committee or chapter with their own dedicated digital space while maintaining centralized governance.

Boost member retention

Create structured engagement programs with personalized journeys and data-driven insights that identify at-risk members and strengthen overall loyalty.

Outdated engagement tools

Lack modern engagement features members expect

Blind spots in member insights

Provide limited analytics and insights

Disconnected systems

Create data silos across your technology ecosystem

Restricted collaboration

The mentoring module is easy and fun to use from an admin and user perspective–single sign-in is especially convenient!”

“We can offer so much more value to our course participants with Hivebrite’s platform. Boost is honored to be a valued community for immunization professionals worldwide. Hivebrite enables us to sustain and scale our community engagement strategies to continue supporting our members as best as possible.”

Sabin Vaccine Institute
Read the case study
“We launched our community just over a year ago, and are very excited. We have a large membership, over 173,000 individuals, and launched with all of our members. Groups have become a real home within the APA community. We are well aware that 173,000 members worldwide is a big number. And for a lot of people it can be overwhelming… But groups have really enabled us to create very unique niche spaces.”
Tabitha Brown / Deputy Chief, Membership, American Psychological Association
