Educational Credit: 0.75 (APA AICP CM)


The community engagement tech landscape is crowded and evolving fast. With new platforms and shiny features launching all the time, it’s easy to get caught up in what looks good in a demo. But real success comes from having a trusted partner who supports your goals beyond launch day.

Join us on Wednesday, August 20, for a focused, 45-minute webinar designed to simplify the platform selection process and help you focus on the fundamentals: what to look for, what to ask, and how to choose a platform that delivers lasting impact. Led by Social Pinpoint’s Managing Director, Meghan Ruble, and Sales Manager, Dan Keane, this session offers a clear, practical framework to help you cut through the noise, evaluate your options with confidence, and choose a community engagement platform that supports both your immediate needs and long-term goals.

In just 45 minutes, you’ll walk away with:

  • Essential questions to ask when evaluating vendors
  • Key features and functionality to prioritize based on your organization’s goals
  • Data migration and support essentials for teams transitioning from another platform
  • Trial site tips to get the most value out of test environments
  • Security and transparency must-haves to protect your data
  • Pricing and packaging insights to help you compare plans and avoid hidden costs
  • Tips for long-term partner success, not just one-off projects
  • Red flags to watch for that could derail your engagement strategy

Whether you’re selecting a community engagement platform for the first time or considering a switch, this session will help you refine your vendor evaluation process and make a confident, informed decision.
