A big announcement already: Two of the biggest players in the membership-management field, Affiniscape and YourMembership.com, announced their merger on Tuesday, a development that’s sure to be a major talker during this week’s conference. “We are excited about this merger with YourMembership.com and are committed to expanding the products and services offered to our customers,” said Affiniscape’s founder, Adam Weedman, in a statement. “With our combined expertise, industry knowledge and years of experience, all of our customers gain immediate value from this partnership.” The combined companies will serve 2,300 customers in 32 countries worldwide.

Prime Yourself to Learn
