Quick answer

Sessionboard is association event management software with education built in: abstract management, peer review, disclosures, agenda building, ePoster galleries, awards and grants, member marketing, and Lessons & Credits for year-round eLearning, CE, and non-dues revenue — all on one set of program records.

Sound like your team?

Match your role to the job Sessionboard solves — program ops, content reuse, or marketing attribution.

Education manager / director

Members want year-round learning; the board wants education revenue. The content exists — it's trapped in last year's meeting.

Program / speaker manager

Abstracts, reviewers, disclosures, and speaker comms live in spreadsheets beside the platform you license.

Marketing & membership

Engagement campaigns need content you don't control, in systems that don't talk to your AMS or website.

Executive director

Three vendors for meetings, learning, and credit — three contracts, no single member education record.

The association education stack is stitched together

Meetings on one platform, learning on another, CE credit on a third — and staff re-keying the same program content at every seam.

  • Sessions and abstracts are re-entered into the LMS after every annual meeting.
  • Posters live on a third-party vendor page that re-imports your program from a spreadsheet.
  • Awards, grants, and scholarships run on yet another review tool with its own logins.
  • Education, program, and marketing teams work from different databases — so education ROI is invisible.
  • Non-dues revenue targets grow while your best content sits unused after the meeting ends.

What Sessionboard is, in association terms

Every capability reads from the same program records — the abstracts, sessions, speakers, and media your meeting already produces.

  • Abstract management — call for papers, submissions, and speaker data on one record.
  • Peer review & evaluations — multi-round review with committee self-service.
  • Conflict of interest & disclosures — captured in the workflow, displayed where they matter.
  • Agenda building — program construction from accepted content, no export/import cycle.
  • ePoster Gallery — a branded, searchable poster hall published from accepted abstracts, plus poster and booklet printing.
  • Awards, grants & scholarships — the same review engine your committees already know.
  • Member marketing — speaker advocacy, member testimonials, transcription, and video clipping.
  • Embeddable widgets — live program content on your association website, no rebuilds.
  • Lessons & education — package sessions, posters, and video into year-round courses, series, and storefronts; Credits keeps CE audit-ready.
  • Developer friendly — public API and MCP for your AMS, community platform, and data stack.

Content is the system of record

Capture abstracts, reviews, disclosures, and speaker profiles once — then every surface publishes from the same records: the poster hall attendees see, the education storefront members buy from, and the report your committee reads.

One platform, three outcomes

Every capability — abstracts, peer review, agenda, ePosters, awards, marketing — runs on the same content core, and rolls up to member engagement, non-dues revenue, and lifelong learning.

Capture once, publish everywhere

Abstracts, peer review, COI disclosures, and speaker profiles flow into one content record — and out to the ePoster gallery, Lessons & Credits, member marketing, awards, widgets, and your API.

The attendee's poster page

Crisp in-browser viewing with AI plain-language summaries, ask-the-author, disclosures on file, and a shareable URL for every view.

Poster hall analytics with poster opens, most-viewed posters, and zero-result searches

The report your committee reads

Poster opens, dwell time, most-viewed posters, and zero-result searches — the clearest signal of what your program lacked.

Who it is for

Association education, program, and marketing teams — from state societies to international federations.

Education managers & directors

Turn one annual meeting into a year of member learning — and a non-dues revenue line the board can see.

Program & speaker managers

Abstracts, reviewers, disclosures, agenda, and speakers on one system with committee self-service.

Marketing & membership teams

Advocacy, testimonials, clips, and embeddable program widgets from content that updates itself.

Medical & scientific societies

Consent capture, disclosure display, embargo timing, and CE-ready workflows built for accredited education.

Built for event-native amplification

What associations chose

The American Urological Association and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control run their programs on Sessionboard — alongside societies like ASA, ACEP, and ASHG.

Poster Gallery in production

Kenes Group publishes live poster galleries straight from accepted abstracts — consent, embargo, and analytics handled in the product.

Non-dues revenue by design

Gated galleries with sponsor placements, priced lesson catalogs for members and non-members, and CE offerings that keep members engaged between meetings.

One system of record

The alternative is three stitched products for meetings, LMS, and CE — with your staff re-keying content at every seam.

Frequently asked questions

How associations run Sessionboard, where it fits beside your AMS, and how education becomes revenue.

Abstract management, peer review and evaluations, conflict-of-interest disclosures, agenda building, ePoster galleries with printing, awards, grants and scholarships, member marketing, embeddable website widgets, and Lessons & Credits for year-round education and CE — one platform on one set of program records.

No. Your AMS remains the membership system of record. Sessionboard is the education and content system of record, and connects to your AMS, community platform, and website through a public API and MCP.

Lessons packages meeting content — sessions, posters, video — into year-round courses, series, and storefronts your members (and non-members) can buy. Credits tracks completion so your CE program stays audit-ready. Together they turn meeting content into education revenue without a separate LMS project.

By monetizing content you already produce: priced lesson catalogs with member and non-member pricing, gated poster galleries with sellable sponsor placements, and CE offerings that give members a reason to engage between meetings.

Start where the pain is — usually abstracts, posters, or awards — and publish content into the LMS you own today. Sessionboard coexists with major association LMS platforms, and Lessons & Credits are there when you're ready to consolidate.

Yes — committee self-service is the point. Chairs configure review rounds, reviewers score in the browser, and disclosures chase themselves, without vendor tickets or staff re-keying.

They run on the same review engine as your abstracts: submission forms, committee scoring, and notifications — so your awards program stops living on a separate tool with separate logins.
