Two audiences. One system.

When members connect with intention, everything else follows. Engagement climbs. Retention holds. Leadership gets easier. And your organization finally delivers on the promise it made.

For members

Stop guessing who to meet.

Connect-IRL gives every member the tools to find the right people and events — and the confidence to reach out.

AI Search — Ask the network a question.

Members can search — "Who in this chapter lives near me and has experience in real estate?" — and get relevant, ranked results. The network becomes searchable the way it should have always been.

Map View — See your network around you.

A geographic view of the membership — so members see who's nearby before a trip, a conference, or a local event. Distance stops being a reason not to reach out.

Suggested Connections — We surface the right people for you to meet.

The platform proactively surfaces members for you to meet — based on shared context and interests. The right people come to them, with enough context to make the first message easy to write.

Link Charts — Know how you're connected before you reach out.

Members see the path between themselves and anyone in the network — finding another member who lives in your area and also enjoys cycling becomes a breeze. Reaching out feels natural when you already have context and known shared interest.

Event Relevance — Know who to connect with in real life.

Before an event, members see who else is attending and why they should meet. RSVP and communications are clear. Events become catalysts, not missed opportunities.

Family Access — Your whole life, not just you.

Spouses get their own profiles and their own access — because in high-trust organizations, the strongest relationships include the whole person. Families become part of the network.

For organization leaders

See your members. Serve them better.

Connect-IRL gives administrators real intelligence about their membership — and the tools to act on it.

Member Dashboards — Understand your members in real time.

See engagement trends and identify who's active and who's drifting away. We surface insights that help you make better decisions about programming, outreach, and renewal. No more finding out at renewal time.

Event Engine — Complex events, simple execution.

Build events with sub-events, multiple pricing tiers, dietary tracking, family attendance, and automated reminders — all in one view.

Preferences Memory — For the details that matter.

Dietary restrictions, seating preferences, plus-one status, peer group assignments — the system remembers it all, across every event and season. Members feel taken care of.

Prospect Management — See who's warming up.

A full pipeline view of prospective members — from referral through interview, approval, and onboarding. Role-based access, automated reminders, and accountability baked in.

QuickBooks Integration — Clean financials without rework.

Dues, event fees, and membership billing sync directly with QuickBooks. Your CFO gets reliable data. Your team stops reconciling. One source of truth from onboarding through renewal.

Automated Feedback — Know your members' preferences.

Scheduled automated feedback surveys via email, SMS, or even AI voice call — ensuring you are in the loop on member experience.

Features

Connect-IRL gives leaders a clear view into their membership — without adding complexity.

Connect-IRL gives community builders a real-time pulse on their members — who's engaged, what they care about, and where the opportunities are. Events fill without the hustle. Onboarding actually sticks. The tools consolidate. And instead of guessing at engagement, you measure what matters.
