SME Connect

Dear SME Members,

As part of our continued effort to better serve our members, we’ve made the decision to sunset the SME Connect platform. For the past eight years, SME Connect has supported member engagement, but we’ve reached an inflection point. This transition creates an opportunity to explore newer, more intuitive tools that better support connections, collaboration, and resource sharing.

SME Connect was officially phased out on June 30, 2025.

You may continue to log in to download materials, save posts, or retrieve any important content until June 30. After that date, the platform will no longer be accessible.

Key member resources have been migrated to sme.org for continued access including the following:

  • Membership Blogs, Webinar Recordings, and Upcoming Programssme.org/engagement Explore our growing library of insights and engagement opportunities across SME. 
  • Chapter Toolkitsme.org/chaptertoolkit - Access best practices, templates, and chapter support resources. 
  • Member Benefits Overview sme.org/benefits - Reference the value and resources SME membership provides. 

Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to SME. We’re energized by what’s ahead and look forward to building the next generation of members’ experiences together.
