Problem

Associations drown in scattered tools

The member roster lives in a spreadsheet, summit signups in a separate form, dues in accounting software, announcements in mass emails. The secretariat works by hand, member companies can't find each other, and engagement fades.

Member companies barely know each other

Your member directory is a static PDF nobody updates, so member companies have no real way to find each other for B2B deals or referrals.

Solved with PlademyMember directory with filters

Working groups run on scattered email threads

Each sector working group manages its own mailing list and file sharing, so the chamber's leadership has no visibility into what's being discussed.

Solved with PlademySpaces for working groups

Summit registration and sponsor visibility are manual

Selling tickets to the annual summit and tracking which member companies registered means juggling a separate ticketing tool and a spreadsheet.

Solved with PlademyEvents with paid tickets

The modules that matter most to you

Everything your association needs

Five capabilities that connect member companies and strengthen the sector.

Member-company network

Every member company's profile, representatives, and expertise sit in one directory. Companies find each other, share content, and build B2B connections.

Summits & sector events

Plan everything from the annual summit to monthly panels in one click; members register, join free or ticketed, and reminders go out automatically.

Membership tiers & dues

Define corporate, individual, or honorary tiers; invoice and collect dues right on the platform and end manual tracking for good.

Sector bulletins

Send regulatory updates, sector data, and association announcements to every member as branded bulletins — and see who opened them.

Peer & expert mentoring

Match seasoned member companies with newcomers; a matching engine, session booking, and reports keep sector knowledge inside the network.

Solution

One home for the association

Member directory, events, dues, bulletins, and mentoring all live on one platform. You set it up closed and invite-only, and go live in minutes.

Moments from association life

1
A new member joins
A company signs in with an invite link, fills out its profile, and the same day reaches the member directory, events, and bulletins.
2
The annual summit opens
The secretariat creates the summit and opens ticketed registration; 300 member reps sign up from one screen, with reminders and access details sent automatically.
3
Dues season arrives
The system invoices dues by membership tier and collects payment; the secretariat sees who has paid from one panel, with no chasing emails.

FAQ

Trade Associations: your questions, answered

Is there a membership platform built for trade associations and chambers?

Plademy is a closed, invite-only platform for trade associations and chambers with a member directory of companies, spaces for sector working groups, and event management for summits — all under the chamber's own brand.

Can member companies network with each other on the platform?

A member directory with filters lets member companies find each other by sector, size, or location, and spaces/topic feeds support ongoing B2B discussion between working groups and committees.

Can member companies pay dues or event fees online?

Yes — membership plans and tiers run through your own Stripe account at 0% commission, and summit or working-group events can sell paid tickets with capacity limits and waitlists.

How do we run sector working groups within one platform?

Each working group gets its own space/topic feed for discussion and announcements, while built-in LiveKit video rooms or voice rooms support working-group calls without a separate Zoom account.

Can the board report on member engagement before renewal season?

Admin analytics and exportable reports cover member company activity, event attendance, and directory usage, so leadership can spot disengaged member companies before dues renewal.
