Skills Labs Announced For Blackbaud Developers' Conference

Join others learning, using, and sharing new technologies and techniques to solve problems and build solutions. The Blackbaud Developers’ Conference June 7–9, 2022 welcomes all levels of dreamers, tinkerers, creators, and builders to a virtual experience. You’ll learn new dimensions to the tools you use every day – and discover new techniques you’ll want to try right away!

Last year we launched Skills Labs at #bbdevdays and these quickly became the hottest tickets in town. These small group ‘how to’ sessions teach leading edge new skills and techniques using a hands-on, practical approach. We cap session size to ensure a more personal experience, so you’ll want to register early to have first access to these first come, first served seats.

And if Austen Brown and Stacy Cope from Prenger Solutions Group have been helping you with your Power Automate workflows, you won't want to miss their 3-day mini-Accelerator course for building your first custom workflow! Description Microsoft Power Automate is a powerful tool that you can teach to do some of your work for you! Austen and Stacy will talk through the kinds of tasks and activities you should automate, how to organize your ideas, and how to prepare before you begin building a Power Automate flow. On day two of our series, Austen and Stacy will teach you the steps to begin building a flow in Microsoft Power Automate, how to test your flow, and how to troubleshoot some of the most common problems you may encounter as you build custom automations. Follow along as Austen and Stacy create and test a complete Power Automate flow that helps find duplicate constituent records in Raiser's Edge NXT. They'll also show you some of the bugs they encountered and other lessons learned in the setup.
