Event Management Software for Associations

Manage Your Members, Events, and Education with One Cohesive Platform

Trusted By Hundreds of Research-Based Associations For 20+ Years to Manage Events Seamlessly

Streamline Both Membership and Event Management In A Single, Integrated Solution

Most societies select an AMS first, only to discover it lacks the tools and support needed for complex academic and event workflows.

X-CD understands that traditional AMS tools often fall short when it comes to managing research-based conferences, speaker programs, and CME/CE workflows. That’s why we offer a full Association and Conference Management System (AMS + CMS) designed to support the end-to-end operations of academic societies. From dues and board elections to abstract peer review and CE tracking, X-CD is built to handle it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

X-CD “exceeds” (pun intended) expectations by giving research-based associations a robust and scalable solution, whether they need full AMS+CMS functionality or just advanced conference management.

We understand that you may already have a working AMS. That’s why X-CD can integrate directly with your existing system, preserving your authentication flow and member records, while still providing top-tier event management.

For small and mid-sized societies with lean teams, a natively integrated platform means:

  • Fewer vendors 
  • No siloed systems
  • No complex APIs
  • And one expert support team behind it all

An event management platform for associations is software that helps plan, organize, and execute events such as conferences, webinars, and annual meetings. This event management system typically includes tools for registration, abstract and speaker management, session scheduling, CE tracking, and more. X-CD offers a full-featured event management platform built specifically for associations and societies with complex, academic-driven workflows.

Associations should consider whether the software supports abstract submissions, peer review, speaker management, CE/CME tracking, flexible registration types, integration with their AMS, and onsite needs such as badge printing or attendance tracking. Support quality and the provider’s understanding of association workflows are also crucial. X-CD checks all of these boxes and has over two decades of experience working with associations.
