“Sessionboard has been one of our most successful investments this year, making our team more efficient and allowing us to focus on the most critical components of our events.”
Cobalt is your association management system — membership, dues, and chapters stay there.
Program, CRM & marketing
Cobalt — events & platform
Cobalt holds the member record, dues, and chapters. Sessionboard is the program layer: call for papers with membership validation, multi-round review, speaker portal, transcription, Attendee Hub, and Advocacy — with SSO and member sync from Cobalt; we never create authoritative member records.
Match your role to the job Sessionboard solves — program, content, or marketing attribution.
Program teams want CFP gated on member status — you need validation from Cobalt, not duplicate contact records.
Reviewers log in with association identity — SSO from Cobalt should gate committee access.
Speaker bios re-keyed from AMS exports — faculty CRM should sync member attributes from Cobalt.
Session content trapped in event silos — capture should flow to your LMS from Sessionboard Marketing.
“Sessionboard has been one of our most successful investments this year, making our team more efficient and allowing us to focus on the most critical components of our events.”
“Sessionboard saves significant planning time and makes it easier than ever for speakers and sponsors to participate in our clients' events.”
“We used Sessionboard daily. It served as our source of truth for tracking speakers, sending emails, and accessing reports. The ability to set a weekly digest email was a huge time saver.”
“Honestly, I loved it! Getting everything out of the spreadsheet. It collects all the information and gives you a visual of who you might want to invite.”
Keep Cobalt mid-contract when you need to — Sessionboard owns call for papers, speaker operations, and content marketing on the program graph.
Membership, dues, chapters, and contact master data in Cobalt.
Dynamics and Cobalt portal identity.

Transcription, Media Library, Attendee Hub, Create, Advocacy, and Dispatch on session records.

Sessionboard connects to the assistants your team already uses through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Sessions, speakers, and agenda data stay in Sessionboard — Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot read it live.
Sign in with OAuth — no API keys to copy. Ask about session status, speaker readiness, committee progress, or agenda gaps in plain English.
Registration and capture tools stay in place. Sessionboard holds the program graph — sync transcripts and media back when you run another vendor beside us.
See how Sessionboard fits beside your existing stack — no rip-and-replace required.
Sessionboard already includes transcription, attendee experiences, and content marketing. A separate subscription makes sense only in narrow cases.
How Sessionboard works beside Cobalt.
No. Cobalt stays the membership system of record. Sessionboard owns call for papers, abstract review, speaker operations, and content marketing beside your AMS.
Dynamics and Cobalt portal identity. Sessionboard validates submitters and reviewers against membership — ask your rep for current SSO scope.
Yes — member identity and eligibility flow from Cobalt for CFP and speaker portal. Sessionboard does not create authoritative member records; the AMS stays source of truth.
Yes — Sessionboard Content Marketing packages transcripts, clips, and Attendee Hub objects for Path, TopClass, CloudCME, and other LMS platforms. See works-with LMS pages.
Registration can stay on Cvent, RainFocus, or EventsAir. Sessionboard connects membership from Cobalt to program operations — registration sync is separate.
Sessionboard supports SSO, member validation, and sync paths for Cobalt. Ask your rep for connector scope on your org — deployment varies by AMS edition.
