Hand off hassle

Membership
Thriving societies think beyond an annual conference or bi-ennial meeting. They’re focused on growing their communities — and their science — at every opportunity. We help clients build strong associations that support knowledge sharing and revenue generation. Our membership tools help you know your members better, making it easier to connect and engage.
Leadership
Take advantage of our secretariat services to centralize all of your society’s administrative and executive functions — no learning curve required. We tackle financial management, recordkeeping and reporting, and board nominations and elections. Along the way, we’ll create a digital hub for your association and serve as your primary point of contact.
Engagement
Keeping your members and committees in the loop (and listening to what they have to say) is key to advancing your association. Work with us and we’ll build out your annual communications plan and implement timely tools and tactics. Look to us for web development and hosting, social media marketing, and conference and meeting promotion.

"As our national organization and its annual meeting began to grow in membership, numbers of meeting attendees and breadth of different sessions, we were struggling to manage the logistics. Since we hired Marischal and his team at Podium, they have masterfully arranged all the annual meeting details. Our Association was able to focus purely on the science and new ideas for improving the range of sessions offered. Podium’s efficient and effective management has significantly contributed to strong membership growth and a doubling of meeting attendance."
