Built for chambers

What Kannect commits to chamber executives

100%

Reach. Every member, every announcement — not just the half on email.

2%

Fee on paid events. Mixers, luncheons, ribbon cuttings — ticketed at 2%, not 10–14%.

5 min

To launch. Import your member directory and start running events the same day.

1

Member record. Dues, events, attendance, and benefits in one place — no more spreadsheets.

The chamber stack, retired

One platform instead of five

Most chambers run on a CMS for the directory, Eventbrite for mixers, Mailchimp for the newsletter, a Facebook page for visibility, and a spreadsheet for member dues. Kannect retires all of it.

Eventbrite

Mixers & member events

Paid events at 2% — ribbon cuttings, luncheons, networking.

MailchimpConstant Contact

Instant push notifications

Built in. Reaches every member instantly, not just the email list.

SquarespaceWix

Member directory & site

Branded community pages and a member directory, included.

Sheets

Dues & member records

One connected member record across events, dues, and benefits.

The problem

Members renew once, then disappear until next year

A chamber's value is connection, but it runs on an events tool, an email list, a printed directory, and a website. Members pay dues, attend one mixer, and drift.

Renewals without engagement

Members renew out of habit, not because they feel connected. That habit does not last forever.

Email that goes unread

Chamber newsletters land in busy inboxes and rarely get opened. Members miss what is happening.

Tools that don't connect

Events here, member records there, communication somewhere else. Nothing gives you the full picture.

Built for your chamber

Everything a chamber needs to engage members all year

One platform for events, member communication, and a directory that stays alive between renewals.

Events and mixers

Ribbon cuttings, networking lunches, and member mixers with RSVPs, tickets, and reminders.

Member communication

Reach members with instant push notifications and messages. Delivered, not lost in a newsletter.

A living member directory

Organize members into committees and tiers, with a directory that is always current.

A public chamber page

A public page where prospective members and the community can see your events and value.

Renewal reminders

Automated reminders and renewal nudges keep membership healthy without manual chasing.

Engagement insight

See which members are active and which are drifting, so you can act before they lapse.

Why Kannect

Independent. Verified. Built for you.

Two things make Kannect different from the tools chambers usually settle for.

Independent and founder-run

Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent and answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer.

Verified and spam-free

Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial that stops bots and fake businesses. Your chamber network stays real, trusted, and spam-free.

Proof

Engagement that earns the renewal

100%

Of members reached

Every announcement reaches every member who opted in. No algorithm decides who sees it.

5 min

To launch

Most chambers set up their community hub and go live in under five minutes.

0 ads

Around your members

No advertising near your business community. Your chamber network is never monetized.
