Discoverability

Attendees Will See Your Association Content

  • Page-Level Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
    Each page of every document has its own website URL. This means your Online Knowledge Center has that many more iweb pages major search engines like Google and Bing can index. Your Conference Knowledge Center is therefore much more findable for attendees and members. Exposing your content to the world makes your organization more relevant and acts an engine for growing your membership base.
  • Teaser Content
    If you decide to restrict your conference content, your Online Knowledge Center can display teaser content, or snippets of content to entice your visitors to register for your next conference or become members.
  • Full-Text and Metadata Search-ability
    It's not enough to simply put your content online. You need to help your users find what they're looking for - fast! All the content in your Knowledge Center is wrapped within a powerful search tool that utilizes metadata and page level full text search. This tool not only brings users to the right document, it brings them to the right page within the document. Event content can quickly be filtered in your Knowledge Center by:
    • Conference Date/Time
    • Title
    • Author
    • Track
    • Subject
    • File Type
    • And more!

Management

Knowledge Centers Put You in the Driver's Seat

  • Subscription Access and eCommerce
    Do you want to provide free access to event education for attendees while generating non-dues revenue from those who couldn't attend? Our Knowledge Center integrates subscription management services to give you full control of content access. You can place site access within the member's only section of your website, or you can assign access via individual usernames and passwords.
  • Automatically Updated Indices
    You will never need to make any more manual updates to your indices or tables of content even if you get that last-minute paper or add batches of presentations after the conference. When you add new and revised documents to your Knowledge Center, our system dynamically updates each index.
  • Easy Content Management
    Our Knowledge Center provides a client portal for you to upload content which means you and your staff can take control of your content. Late papers or new content can be added at any time by simply uploading files and filling out the metadata fields. In addition, you may choose to build an ongoing archive site in which additional years’ content can be added for a living, searchable repository of your all your conference content.
  • Google Analytics
    All Knowledge Centers come with a Google Analytics account so staff can quickly and easily track site visits, unique users, device access, daily activity, content use and other information.

Engagement

More Than Your Ordinary Conference Website

  • Attendee Engagement Features
    Put an end to boring conference websites that don't allow attendees to interact and engage with content. Our Online Knowledge Center is specifically designed to engage attendees by:
    • Capturing comments and ratings
    • Allowing for integration with online photo-galleries
    • Enabling social sharing and bookmarking
    • Supporting access via smartphones and tablets

Integration

Knowledge Centers Work Well With Others

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration
    Who wants to remember another username and password? Our Knowledge Center can streamlines access with Single-Sign-On (SSO) that integrates with many association management systems and registration systems.
  • True Mobile Access on iPads, Tablets and Smartphones
    When your super-cool Online Knowledge Center meets their super-cool handheld gadget, magic happens. Your online platforms are created knowing more people are using iPads, tablets and smartphones to access the web. Online Knowledge Centers are created in a "true mobile-friendly design," so you don't need to use the tip of a pen to hit the correct link.
