Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community,



READY TO DIVE INTO bbcon?

By now you know that Simu Liu - actor, writer, and beloved Marvel® superhero and Glennon Doyle - beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author & activist—will both join us at bbcon 2022 Virtual on October 18.

But did you know that there are many other sessions scheduled as well? With special breakout sessions scheduled throughout the conference as well as specially curated sessions for Europe and Asia – it’s a lot to dive into!

Registration is now open. From now until bbcon 2022, we are featuring our bbcon attendees on our new featured members page. This gives you easy access to connect with fellow attendees ahead of the conference. You can also check out the bbcon community for discussions, announcements, and to browse and connect with past bbcon attendees.
