Recapping APP25: A Power-Packed Two Days in Reston

Last week we had the pleasure of sponsoring the Association Platform Power Conference (APP25), held April 1–2 at the Hyatt Regency in Reston, Virginia. This two-day event brought together users of Fonteva and Protech, two of the leading association management systems, for hands-on learning, networking, and discovery of tools that can amplify the impact of their organizations. With a strong turnout of association professionals eager to explore new ways to future-proof their operations, APP25 delivered on its promise to be a hub of innovation and inspiration.

Breezio was proud to be part of this fantastic event. As a community platform that integrates seamlessly with both Fonteva and Protech, we were excited to connect with attendees throughout the event, especially those who are already using Breezio to build thriving online communities. Our clients in attendance represented a diverse mix of missions and membership models, and it was great to hear their success stories firsthand. For associations looking to increase engagement, drive retention, and unlock the full value of their member networks, Breezio continues to stand out as a flexible, affordable solution that fits right into their AMS ecosystem.

One of the highlights for our team was hosting a featured session titled “From Membership to Marketing: Expert Tips for Launching & Promoting Your Member Community.” During this session, we shared practical strategies for building buzz and momentum around a community launch; from engaging champions internally, to creating a steady stream of content, to measuring success over time. The session sparked great conversations, and we’re thrilled so many attendees walked away with actionable takeaways. For those who couldn’t make it, we’ve captured these insights in a whitepaper you can download here.

Events like APP25 reinforce just how critical community-building has become for any association. Whether you're focused on improving member onboarding, boosting non-dues revenue, or simply creating a space where your members can connect and grow, the right technology partner can make all the difference.

We’re already looking ahead to several more events this year where Breezio will be front and center, so stay tuned for details or get in touch with us to hear where we'll be next!
