As we move into the second half of 2025, it’s time to let you know about some important upcoming initiatives and how they will impact you.
You Asked. We Delivered.
We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Clowder, a mobile engagement platform designed specifically for communities like ours. Clowder will replace the Whova app starting with PowerUp Americas 2026 and will also support our regional conferences—PowerUp EMEA, Asia, and Australia. But we’re going further: this isn’t just for events. Clowder will become a year-round, real-time engagement hub for members to connect, collaborate, and communicate. We’ll begin the transition in July, with a goal to have the new platform fully launched in time for PowerUp Asia in September 2025.
Your Voice Shapes the Future
In August, we’ll launch our semi-annual NPAworldwide Business Barometer Survey. The survey provides valuable insights into the current state of the independent recruitment industry, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for growth. Your feedback helps us understand how best to support you in an ever-changing industry, so when the survey hits your inbox, make sure your voice is heard.
Time to Recognize Remarkable Leadership
We’ll also be seeking nominations for the NPAworldwide Board Chair Award, which honors a member whose contributions have left a lasting impact on our network. Think about the partners who go above and beyond—those who build up others, contribute selflessly, and elevate the NPA community as a whole. This is your chance to help us recognize and celebrate them.
These initiatives reflect our continued commitment to listen, evolve, and invest in tools and opportunities that make a real difference for you. Whether it’s improving how we connect, gathering insights to drive smart decisions, or recognizing the leaders among us—we’re building a stronger NPAworldwide together.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
