Event conference management software has become the operational backbone for modern associations.
Consider the scale: multi-track agendas, hundreds of speaker assets, and sponsorship packages that demand iron-clad ROI often across several time zones. Yet, according to the PCMA Convene Meetings Market Survey 2024, 64 % of planners still rely on three or more disconnected systems to manage a single conference.
The result is redundant data entry, inconsistent attendee touchpoints, and finance teams piecing together revenue after the fact.
Glue Up's AI-powered event management software eliminates that fragmentation by delivering every critical workflow through one integrated event module:
Conference Agenda Builder — publish schedule changes instantly to mobile and web.
Speaker Portal Software — centralize slide uploads, bios, and approvals in a single queue.
Sponsor ROI Tracking Dashboards — surface click-level analytics before exhibitors break down their booths.
Attendee Engagement Dashboard — feed live interaction data to moderators and post-event reports to leadership.
Finance and CRM Hand-Off — close books and update member records without exporting a single CSV.
More than 1,500 associations use Glue Up to run data-driven conferences worldwide. Schedule a 15-minute executive demo to map your next multi-track event, uncover hidden revenue opportunities, elevate attendee engagement, and leave the board with analytics they can act on.
