Re: Never been to Philly before. What is the one thing I must do while attending bbcon2025?
I 100% agree with what Bill said. I try to come in a day early and leave a day late so I'm not as rushed but I'm STILL completely exhausted and not up for sightseeing. But the good news is we're downtown so if you do have a bit of free time you'll have a ton of great local food options.

Re: Share: What sessions are you most excited about and why?
I'm really interested to see how everyone is making the switch from database view to web view. Seems like that's the hot topic and I know a lot of folks are like me in the "pry DBV from my cold dead hands" camp.

Re: Fundraiser Performance tile on home page is inaccurate
That is correct. From BB's documentation...

Hey Angela - I encourage you to attend PSG's Insider's Guide to bbcon 2025 - we'll be covering lots of helpful info including how to get to/from the Philly airport to your hotel, session recommendations, tips to maximize your conference, restaurant recommends, etc.
Re: Never been to Philly before. What is the one thing I must do while attending bbcon2025?
Unless you're coming in early or staying late, or you just need to step away from the conference, I wouldn't create expectations about "seeing Philly" - the conference is morning, noon and night and I find it completely filling and exhausting — trying to sightsee as well is too much, at least for me. But if you do have any time at all, I HIGHLY recommend the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall! The National Constitution Center museum is also excellent and right there: https://constitutioncenter.org/museum

Re: Blackbaud Checkout loading wrong modal/digital wallet options missing
Hi Jerry
Thanks for posting your question. I can explain the difference you are seeing.
The checkout experience you are using today via the SKY Payments API is different from the one used by Blackbaud Online Giving forms (i.e. the Parkland Health Foundation website).
The current checkout you are using does support Apple Pay and PayPal/Venmo. For PayPal, you need to connect the PayPal business account: Get Started with PayPal.
I am also happy to share that the newer version of checkout that you see on the Parkland site is coming soon to the Payments API. This will also include support for Google Pay. If you are interested in being a part of the early adopter program where you can use the new checkout for online card payments, please let me know and I'd be happy to share more details.
Thank you,
Mina
