The Buzz: October 19, 2021

Happy Tuesday, Blackbaud Community! 

We hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the presentations at bbcon 2021 last week. If you missed anything, or couldn’t attend you can still register and see all the bbcon presentations available at https://www.bbconference.com/ until November 19th.

What’s next after that great bbcon experience? We have TWO new things for you to enjoy!

First, in response to the pandemic, we made our entire curriculum of Blackbaud University Basics eLearning online courses available free to all customers. Want to learn more? Start by exploring our curriculum for Technology and Organizational Best Practices. Wherever you see a small green monitor icon next to a course name, it indicates that the course is an eLearning, available to all customers for free.

Second, knowing how important it is to stay current with Blackbaud solution updates and industry trends, the Blackbaud Product Update Briefings virtual conference showcases recent innovations and future roadmap direction in our leading-edge software solutions.

Sign up for the October 26th-28th briefing on the products that impact your work or that you'd like to learn more about. Can't make it to the live session? Sign up anyway and we'll send you a recording of the session.
