What KnowledgeConnex does

KnowledgeConnex is a privately held U.S. company, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Brookhaven, Georgia, that provides a modular suite of digital services to small and medium-sized healthcare professional associations. Its platform spans e-Learning (online courses, CME/CE tracking, self-assessment testing), job board aggregation across state HIM, cancer registry, trauma, ACS state chapter, and healthcare privacy/security associations, meeting management (online registration, abstract submission and review, mobile meeting apps via Yapp, CME/CE certificates), membership and governance tooling (online member database, board collaboration via Basecamp, online board voting, surveys and polls), email and social media communication, website management and design, a centralized email and website advertising program (via LearningStream), and a shared Speaker Bureau submission portal. Underlying technology is a web platform built on third-party foundations (Basecamp, Yapp, Formidable Forms, reCAPTCHA, Zendesk for support, Cloudflare CDN, LearningStream for ads and registration), with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML components.

The company makes money through a mix of small-dollar, transaction-based revenue streams and recurring/managed services. Job postings are sold per listing to employers at prices typically ranging from $25 to $200 for 30-90 day durations (with many postings free for member/corporate-partner categories and up to $300 for multi-position packages on FHIMA); single email blast advertising is priced at $200-$225, and 30-day website homepage placements are sold separately. e-Learning is positioned as subscription/recurring virtual learning, and the broader association management bundle (membership, website, board collaboration, meeting mobile apps, surveys, social media) is sold as managed services. Distribution combines direct subscription sales to associations with self-serve, pay-as-you-go employer and advertiser transactions through online forms on the KnowledgeConnex and LearningStream sites, supported by social media, SEO, and direct outreach/demos.

KnowledgeConnex serves 80+ healthcare professional associations across the United States, with named customers including AAHIM, FHIMA, GHIMA, CCRA, Western Trauma Association, the Alabama and New Mexico Chapters of the American College of Surgeons, InSPN, and MNHIMA. The team is approximately seven people (CEO Erin McMillan, appointed 2024; founder Andrea Koppelmann; Operations Manager Christy Geary; Lead Web Developer Kevin S. Dulany; Communications Specialist Stephanie Lancaster, joined November 2025; Marketing Communications Coordinator Victoria McCracken Acosta; Marketing Professional Phyllis Williams), all U.S.-based. The company operates only in the United States, accepts payment only in U.S. dollars, and has no disclosed parent company, institutional investment, or M&A activity.
