Event registration software ought to clear a straight path from sign-up to payment, yet most large chambers still juggle spreadsheets, email approvals, and a finance ledger that never quite balances. Member discount ticketing gets misapplied, group registrations bury staff in manual checks, and “paid” status means one thing in the CRM and another in QuickBooks.
Glue Up replaces that tangle with an AI-powered event management platform built for chambers of commerce:
Verify dues status in real-time with automated member registration workflows—non-members never slip through at discount rates.
Apply dynamic ticket pricing automatically; every member, guest, or sponsor tier is billed the correct amount, boosting event revenue.
Issue PCI-compliant invoices the instant a seat is confirmed; no manual billing, no missed payments.
Reconcile transactions to finance daily through a secure online payments gateway—books close on time, spreadsheets stay closed.
The result is zero-touch sign-ups, accurate records, and an event calendar that scales as quickly as your membership roster.
Industry research shows that 27% of online registrants abandon a form when it feels too long or confusing. Glue Up’s automated event registration software has already helped 1,000+ chambers turn that drop-off into paid, invoice-ready seats. Book a 15-minute demo to see no-touch approvals, dynamic member pricing, and same-day finance reconciliation running on your data.

Automate Member Approvals in Seconds — Let AI Verify, Route, and Price Tickets
Before we tackle payments and reconciliation, the first hurdle is ensuring only qualified members reach the checkout—exactly where Glue Up’s AI-driven approval engine takes over.
Large chambers shouldn’t burn staff hours checking dues or chasing committee sign-offs. Glue Up turns that manual bottleneck into an automated member registration workflow driven by AI approval rules for event sign-ups:
Real-Time Dues Verification
The moment someone clicks “Register,” the system cross-checks the status in the chamber CRM. Lapsed members see a renewal prompt; active members flow straight to checkout—no staff lookup, no wrong discounts applied.
Zero-Click Committee Sign-Off
VIP or sponsor passes that once required email threads now land in a Slack or Teams alert with one-tap Approve / Decline buttons. Every action logs to the audit trail, satisfying governance without stalling registrations.
Dynamic Member Discount Ticketing
Approved registrants hit the member discount ticketing platform, where preset tiers—member, non-member, guest—apply automatically. Early-bird windows close the instant revenue targets are met, protecting premium pricing.
Instant PCI-Compliant Invoicing
Seats lock only after payment clears a secure gateway; invoices mail within seconds, already coded for cost-center reconciliation. Finance sees the transaction in QuickBooks before the status light turns green.
Outcome: Chambers cut approval cycles from days to minutes, eliminate discount abuse, and capture revenue with no manual intervention—setting a friction-free foundation for the rest of the event lifecycle.
Just Ask CBAA—They Turned 10 Holiday Gatherings Into Seamless Sign-Ups
Founded in 1976, the Cornell Black Alumni Association (CBAA) connects more than 15,000 alumni while funding mentorships and scholarships for current students. Until 2022, event registration lived in Eventbrite, dues in Excel, and email outreach in Mailchimp—a patchwork that burned staff hours and let lapsed members slip through at member rates.
After adopting our AI event registration software, CBAA cloned one holiday-party Blueprint, switched on automated member registration workflows, and let Glue Up’s approval rules validate dues status instantly.
Tickets auto-priced at member, non-member, or student rates, invoices posted instantly to finance, and attendance trends appeared on a live analytics dashboard. The impact was transformative:
100 % registration accuracy across all 10 cities—no discount abuse
5 hours saved per chapter on manual approvals and payment matching
Higher turnout at networking mixers and tailgates, driven by real-time insights into who had already signed up
Tip — Use a single Blueprint for multi-city rollouts; regional hosts only tweak dates and venues, while Glue Up handles pricing logic and automated invoicing.

Reconcile Payments the Same Day — Close Books Without Spreadsheets
With approvals and member pricing on autopilot, the next choke point is payment handling. Manual exports and disconnected gateways delay revenue recognition and invite errors. In fact, a 2025 survey found that 42 % of finance professionals cite manual payment reconciliation as their top reporting pain point.
Glue Up eliminates that bottleneck by tying the event module directly to the Finance Module, so every ticket sale becomes ledger-ready when you need it:
Secure Online Payments
Registrants pay through Glue Up’s gateway; the status flips to “Paid” in the registration list the moment the charge clears.
Send Branded Invoices Instantly
The system emails a PCI-compliant PDF invoice as soon as payment posts, marking the AI-powered CRM record “Settled” and keeping events, membership, and finance in sync.
Export Finance-Ready Reports
Each paid ticket rolls into the Finance Module, grouped by event and ticket tier. With one click, staff export a ledger-ready CSV for audit or upload.
Track Revenue Live
A 24/7/365 revenue dashboard shows totals, outstanding balances, and refunds as they happen, arming treasurers with up-to-date cash-flow insight.
Tip — Schedule a “Daily Finance Digest” inside the Finance Module to email reconciled revenue, open invoices, and refunds each morning; leadership starts the day with accurate figures and zero manual prep.

Review And Lock The First Event
After your next registration cycle, open the event’s Summary tab and verify the totals. Click “Lock Event For Accounting.” The system archives transactions, preventing edits and guaranteeing audit integrity.

Track Attendance and Insights Instantly — From Self-Check-In to Live Analytics
With payments reconciled before doors open, the final step is running event day itself—and capturing data that proves success to your board.
Empower Attendees To Check In
The self-service event check-in app turns any phone or tablet into a QR scanner. Guests scan their badges, print on-site if needed, and enter in seconds; staff redeploys to higher-value tasks.
Capture Group Arrivals In One Tap
The bulk group registration solution lets company reps confirm entire teams at once. Glue Up immediately tags each attendee as “Present” in the CRM, eliminating roster mismatches.
View Real-Time Engagement Metrics
The event registration analytics dashboard updates as scans occur—showing peak arrival times, no-show percentages, and member-vs-guest ratios while sessions are still running.
Export Post-Event Insights Effortlessly
One click pushes attendance, revenue, and engagement graphs into a board-ready PDF. Leaders see exactly how the investment paid off without waiting for a manual recap.
Tip — Activate “Capacity Alert” in the check-in app: when a room nears its limit, staff receive an instant push notification to redirect foot traffic, keeping safety and comfort intact.

Event Registration Software? No—An Automated Revenue Engine Built for Chambers
Running quarterly networking dinners in five regions or a 2 K-attendee trade show shouldn’t require staff to verify dues, adjust discounts, and hand-match payments.

Glue Up replaces the busywork with purpose-built, AI-powered event registration software created for chambers, associations, and other member-based organizations.
And registration is only the entry point—Glue Up powers the rest of the event life cycle, too:
