Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community, 

 
It’s time to register for bbcon 2022! This year’s conference is a global virtual experience and we are very excited to share some exciting bonus features for our Blackbaud Community members: First, you can claim your bbcon 2022 attendee badge now. An exclusive cover photo for your profile page is also now available in the bbcon community. The bbcon community is a great place to connect with other attendees, discuss the upcoming conference, and stay informed of the latest announcements.
