Welcome To The Blackbaud Developers’ Conference 2021!

Missing the convention scene? While things may still be different, we have BIG news on two upcoming Blackbaud events that you won't want to miss: Developers' Conference 2021 and the K-12 User Conference.Ladies and gentlemen, you don’t want to miss Blackbaud’s first even open Developers’ Conference coming up on June 15-17. If you use SKY API for Schools to expand the capabilities of Blackbaud Education Management, use SKY API to expand your fundraising efforts with Raiser’s Edge NXT, or any other use of SKY API, consider joining us.

Not sure what DevCon is? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s why you won’t want to miss the show this year.

What is DevCon?
DevCon is the place where software developers and technology enthusiasts convene to share best practices, exchange great ideas, build relationships with peers, and learn from and collaborate with Blackbaud product experts and partners. It is a user-group on overdrive for all levels of creators, coders, analysts, experts, database administrators, IT professionals, drag-and-drop workflow designers, and innovation evangelists. 

The customer stories and real-life use cases that we share at DevCon are what really make the experience, so we hope those of you in the SKY Developer community will consider speaking and providing feedback on hot topics you hope to see covered. If you have a success (or even a failure/ teachable moment) to share, big or small, we want to hear about it! DevCon will include sessions and content formats to showcase all sizes and styles of storytelling.

Stay tuned for more info on sessions, skill labs, competitions, developer round table discussions, innovation showcases, code swaps and of course, amazing speakers as we get closer to the event. Join us to contribute to an epic experience when we all come together to network, learn, celebrate, challenge, and create.

By the way, sponsors are welcome! I Please contact DevCon@blackbaud.com to learn more about opportunities for DevCon and other ways to get more involved to make this event a success.
