How CBMC runs more than 500 chapter events a year on one platform
CBMC, a national ministry to business and professional leaders, moved its events from Eventbrite to AnyRegistration. Today its local teams across the country run breakfasts, luncheons, golf outings, banquets and a national conference from one account.
Figures from AnyRegistration's records for CBMC from its first event in November 2023 to October 2026.
Local events, one national picture
CBMC's work happens locally. Teams in cities across the country host their own breakfasts, luncheons, golf outings and banquets, each with its own guests, sponsors and volunteers. The national office needs to see all of it, and every event has to carry the ministry's name, not a ticketing marketplace's.
A general ticketing site sells a seat well. CBMC needed more in the same checkout: tables for table hosts, sponsorships with included guests, gifts to the ministry, and invoices for the business that pays by check. It also needed to follow up with the guests who came.
What CBMC needed in one checkout
- Tables for table hosts
- Sponsorships with included guests
- Gifts to the ministry
- Invoices for the business that pays by check
- Follow-up with the guests who came
“We organize hundreds of events nationwide each year, and moving to AnyRegistration has proven to be an excellent choice. The well-known system we used before was functional, but a solution tailored specifically for non-profits and the types of events we host is a far better match. It has enhanced our event experience, lowered our costs, and the customer service is best in class.”
What CBMC runs on AnyRegistration
Chapter events under one account
Each local organizer runs its own events; the national office sees every registration, sponsor and dollar. 532 events in the last twelve months alone.
Events on CBMC's own websites
Chapter and regional sites show their own events through the embedded events calendar, and registration pages live on CBMC's own domain.
Recurring breakfasts and luncheons as series
38 series, so a monthly gathering is set up once and repeated.
Sponsorships and tables
More than 950 sponsorships sold, many with guest seats included in the same checkout.
Gifts with registration
More than 1,300 gifts totaling over $300,000, given alongside tickets and sponsorships.
Invoices
442 purchases invoiced for sponsors and table hosts who pay later, by check or online.
Check-in, name tags and tent cards
Printed for the door, with more than 6,600 guests checked in.
Post-event surveys and follow-up
2,265 survey responses across 103 events, 923 of them from paper response cards imported after the event, with 696 follow-ups assigned to local leaders.
A national conference with its own app
For MERGE 2026, CBMC's national conference in October 2026, AnyRegistration ran registration, the agenda, speakers and breakout sessions. 371 attendees registered and made 597 breakout sign-ups.
Attendees used CBMC One, a branded mobile app in the App Store and Google Play built on AnyRegistration. It carried the schedule, their breakout choices and the attendee directory, and the conference team sent push notifications to everyone on site.

“When we evaluated a new event platform, we wanted an experience similar to what our members were used to with Eventbrite, plus a way for a growing number of local event coordinators to manage their own events. AnyRegistration delivered that across more than 600 events, and I've heard the same from our team: things are going well.”
“Sooooo much faster than Eventbrite was. It is a BIG win from an efficiency standpoint.”
“We absolutely love the AnyRegistration!”
