ABOUT ANZAAN
Built to help Alumni communities succeed
Successful alumni programmes don't happen by accident. They need good data, regular communication, engaging events, the right technology and people with the time and knowledge to bring it all together.
That's where ANZAAN comes in.
We work with schools, universities and Alumni associations across Australia and New Zealand to provide the tools, knowledge and practical support needed to manage, grow and engage their alumni communities.
Our approach is built around three core services:
ANZAAN Alumni Management Software
ANZAAN Conferences & Gatherings
ANZAAN Advisory

01. ANZAAN Alumni Management Software
Manage your alumni. Engage your community.
ANZAAN Alumni Management Software gives your organisation the technology to manage your alumni community in one place — while giving your members a simple way to stay connected.
The platform has two sides.
The ANZAAN Dashboard
FOR YOUR SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY OR ALUMNI TEAM
The ANZAAN Dashboard is your central alumni management system. It gives your team the tools to manage member information, publish content, create events and communicate with your alumni community.
Use the Dashboard to:
Manage and search alumni records
Maintain your alumni database
Publish news and updates
Create and promote events
Manage event RSVPs and attendees
Share photos and content
Run polls and surveys
Manage member information
Communicate with your community
The ANZAAN App
FOR YOUR ALUMNI MEMBERS
The ANZAAN App gives your alumni a simple and convenient way to stay connected with their school, university or alumni community directly from their phone.
Members can use the App to:
Keep up to date with alumni news and updates
Discover upcoming events and reunions
Register for events and activities
Find and connect with other alumni
Update their own contact and personal information
View photos and community content
Participate in polls and surveys
Receive important notifications and updates
Stay connected with their alumni community wherever they are
02. ANZAAN Conferences & Gatherings
Learn from others and share ideas
The first ANZAAN Annual Conference was a great success, bringing together people involved in alumni, advancement and community engagement to share experiences, learn from each other and build new connections.
The conference was featured in the Waikato Business News.
Building on the success of our first conference, the ANZAAN Annual Conference will return next year, with another programme of speakers, practical insights, shared experiences and opportunities to connect with others working in alumni engagement.
The Annual Conference is only part of the ANZAAN events programme.
Throughout the year, we will also host smaller local and regional events, creating more opportunities for people working in alumni and advancement to meet, exchange ideas and learn from others in their area.
Our events are designed to provide:
Expert Speakers – Hear from experienced alumni, advancement, engagement and education professionals.
Real Experiences – Learn what other schools, universities and associations are doing and what's working for them.
Practical Ideas – Take away ideas you can apply to your own alumni programme.
Peer Connections – Meet others facing many of the same challenges and opportunities.
Ongoing Learning – Stay connected with the ANZAAN community throughout the year.
ANZAAN is about building a community where people can connect, share and learn from each other.
03. ANZAAN Advisory
Sometimes you need more than advice. You need help getting it done.
Many schools and alumni associations know what they would like to achieve but don't always have the time, resources or specialist experience to make it happen. ANZAAN Advisory provides practical, hands-on support to help you move your alumni programme forward.
We can work alongside your team to help with:
Alumni Strategy
Establish clear objectives, priorities and an achievable plan for your alumni programme.
Data & Missing Alumni
Improve your alumni records, find missing members and build a more complete and useful database.
Events & Reunions
Plan and develop events that reconnect year groups, regions and special-interest communities.
Membership & Engagement
Develop initiatives that encourage alumni to participate and build stronger relationships with your organisation.
Sponsorship & Partnerships
Identify opportunities to build commercial partnerships that can help support the cost of your alumni programme.
Technology & Implementation
Help configure and implement your ANZAAN platform and make sure your team gets value from the technology.
Whether you need advice on a particular challenge or additional capacity to help deliver your programme, ANZAAN can work alongside you.
