Which companies exhibiting at ASAE’s 2015 Annual Meeting are on my list? If you’re a community professional, here are some of the must-visit vendors you’ll find on the show floor.

• Altai Systems (booth 124) is an AMS platform with a baked-in dotNetNuke based CMS including a community plugin.
• Aptify (booth 617) is an AMS platform. We understand they’re spinning off a new community  business in the coming months.
• Brightfind (booth 501) is the product of the marriage between Syscom Services and Personify Interactive, who provide custom theming services for community platforms such as Higher Logic.
• Digitec (booth 508) is an LMS platform. We understand that their Knowledge Direct platform is being overhauled and we’re watching with a keen eye for some community/peer-to-peer learning features to be added to the product.
• Higher Logic (booth 509) is the association community platform market leader. They have a significant update to their volunteer module that we’re eager to see. They’re also a sponsor of the 2015 Online Community Software Selection Guide.
• Kavi (booth 221) is an online collaboration tool specifically designed for standards-developing-organizations (SDOs). They’re also a sponsor of the 2015 Online Community Software Selection Guide.
• NimbleUser (booth 338) is a Salesforce-based AMS. As Salesforce continues adapting its Chatter community product for member and customer communities, we’re curious to see to what extent Salesforce-based AMSs will incorporate community into their offerings.
• Old Town IT (booth 225) is a technology services firm based in the DC area that is venturing into product development. They’ve just released a white-label community platform stacked on top of a best-in-class open source forum product that comes in at a very attractive price point.
• Small World Labs (booth 208) is a leading online community vendor for associations and nonprofits. They’re also a sponsor of the 2015 Online Community Software Selection Guide.
• YourMembership (booth 539) is traditionally known as an AMS platform, but they also offer websites, online buyers guides, communities, a job board, an LMS, and revenue-generating services. They’re also an Online Community Results client and a sponsor of the 2015 Online Community Software Selection Guide.
