# Smart Groups

> **A powerful way** to bring together members from different member companies that share a similar interest. It's a great way to promote specialist events and other member marketing

Smart Groups are created by you. You can have as many smart groups as you like and your members can browse a list of smart groups and add or remove themselves from the group. That way they will receive notifications and event invites sent out by you to the members of the groups.&#x20;
