Case Study: Royal Statistical Society achieves accurate member registration and protects revenue with Eventsforce

Royal Statistical Society - Customer Case Study

The Royal Statistical Society (RSS), a professional body for UK statisticians and data analysts, runs around 100 meetings and events a year, including a major international conference with more than 500 attendees. When moving to a new event management solution, RSS needed a way to stop people registering at the wrong rate and to verify membership status before completing online registration. It chose Eventsforce and its web-based event management and abstract solution.

Eventsforce implemented an integration between its platform and RSS’s existing iMIS membership system so attendee emails are checked automatically when someone selects the member rate. This ensures only valid members can register at discounted fees, while lapsed or non-members are redirected appropriately. According to RSS, the result is accurate fee collection, faster handling of membership queries, protection of member benefits, and considerable time saved chasing incorrect payments, helping secure a key revenue stream.
