The Community Company

About ConnectPress


ConnectPress’ online communities represent over fifteen years of engineering-
related publishing knowledge. Originally begun in 1995 as a publisher of
trade-style magazines, the company has evolved through many incarnations
including publishing instructional manuals and guides for CAD professionals.

Leading the industry by responding to CAD professional needs, in 2003
ConnectPress went completely digital. ConnectPress now offers nine websites
that deliver 24/7 news, features, tips and tricks, and vendor information.
Additionally, each ConnectPress community publishes a Digital Digest newsletter
summarizing the week’s news.

In 2006, ConnectPress recognized additional engineering categories requiring
coverage.Since then the company has branched out to create communities
that cover the infrastructure, green building, and renewable energy industries.
As a result, ConnectPress leads the engineering publishing industry with a
subscription volume of over 300,000 active subscribers - a 200%
increase in four years.
