“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.”
Wild Apricot is your association management system — membership, dues, and chapters stay there.
Program, CRM & marketing
Wild Apricot — events & platform
Wild Apricot 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 Wild Apricot; 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 Wild Apricot, not duplicate contact records.
Reviewers log in with association identity — SSO from Wild Apricot should gate committee access.
Speaker bios re-keyed from AMS exports — faculty CRM should sync member attributes from Wild Apricot.
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.”

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.
