Event Software for Chambers of Commerce
Run shop-local passports, ribbon-week crawls, young-professional hunts, and seasonal campaigns that drive foot traffic to the businesses you represent — with maps, check-ins, and reporting from one platform.
Chambers use WayHopper for retention, revenue, and reach.
Same platform — different playbooks for economic development, member value, and community visibility.
Shop Local Passport
A month-long passport challenge across member retailers. Participants collect digital check-ins and compete on a public leaderboard — every visit is measurable foot traffic for your members.
Downtown Dining Week
Ticketed multi-venue crawl with fixed-price menus, sponsor stops, and a single passport. Chambers sell tickets, restaurants get covers, sponsors get scan data — everyone wins on one dashboard.
Member Mixer Hunt
Quarterly networking scavenger hunt across member offices and storefronts. Young professionals and new members meet businesses through QR checkpoints — not another stale breakfast meeting.
One platform, four seasons.
Most chambers run 4–6 interactive campaigns per year. Here's how a typical programming calendar maps to member value.
New Member Welcome Hunt
Orientation scavenger hunt across downtown — introduces 40+ businesses to new members in one afternoon.
Shop Local Saturday Series
Monthly passport weekends with rotating retail districts, sponsor prizes, and member spotlight stops.
Downtown Dining & Retail Week
Ticketed crawl with fixed menus, retail discounts, and live participation map for economic development reporting.
Holiday Shopping Passport
Multi-week stamp challenge across member retailers — drives holiday foot traffic with sponsor-funded prizes.
Member value you can measure and renew.
Where the impact shows up
Foot traffic to member businesses, ticket revenue for chamber programs, sponsor dollars for economic development — all exportable for board reports and renewal conversations.
The tools that make member campaigns repeatable.
Member business roster
Import your member directory once. Assign stops, tiers, and sponsor levels — each business gets its own check-in dashboard and post-event report.
Season templates
Clone last year's Shop Local Passport or Dining Week in one click. Update dates, swap venues, publish — your team runs the season, not individual events.
Tickets, photos & public pages
Sell tickets or run free entry, moderate check-in photos, and share public event pages so the whole downtown can follow along.
Multi-venue passports
One ticket or free registration unlocks stops across member businesses. Each check-in is verified via QR + GPS in the WayHopper app—the app supports offline check-ins when signal drops.
Sponsor packages built in
Title sponsor, stop sponsor, prize sponsor — configurable tiers with impression counts and redemption rates for renewal pitches.
Location Entry Portal
Invite member businesses to add their own stops under your limits and approvals—ideal for shop-local trails and open community routes.
"We replaced three disconnected vendors with one WayHopper season. Shop Local Saturday alone drove 2,400 visits to member stores — and I had the dashboard to prove it at renewal time."
Chamber leader questions.
More in our help center, or talk to a chamber that already runs on WayHopper.
Can we run events for member businesses without charging tickets?
Yes. Shop Local passports and member mixers can be free to join with sponsor-funded prizes. Dining weeks and crawls typically sell tickets — you choose per event.
How do member businesses check in participants?
Each stop gets a unique QR code. Participants check in with QR + GPS in the WayHopper app—the day-of home for play. The app supports offline check-ins when signal drops.
Can we white-label for our chamber brand?
No — WayHopper does not offer separate white-label apps or custom domains. Your events use WayHopper public pages and the WayHopper app, with chamber branding on the event itself.
What about businesses that aren’t members?
You control which businesses appear as stops. Many chambers run member-only events plus one annual open campaign that doubles as a membership sales tool.
Can we export participation data for our members?
Yes. Export participant lists from the organizer portal after an event—useful for member engagement reports and renewal conversations with your existing AMS or CRM workflows.
WayHopper runs events for multiple businesses and nonprofits.
