Vendor solicitations ahead of bbcon app...

Lauren Henderson

I am a little disappointed that I'm receiving solicitations from bbcon vendors before I have the bbcon app to access my schedule and plan out when I may be able to visit said vendors' booths…

That would bug me too! Are they actual solicitations, or invitations to stop by their booth? Those are still solicitations, of course, but do seem a little aggressive.

There is a way to modify this in your registration. Go to the conference website, log in, and then select “modify your registration” from the top navigation. It will be on the 4th or 5th screen, but you'll see his question:

Hopefully making the update will cut back on the pre-conference solicitations!

@Karen Diener Thanks for your response. It was more a comment on the lack of a conference app from blackbaud than any annoyance with emails from sponsors.

@Lauren Henderson agree…I am not arriving until Saturday afternoon, but I would like the app before I leave so I can get familiar with it and not struggling last minute to figure it out!

@Lauren Henderson I do like that the conference site now has the ability to display your agenda in calendar format so you can visually see gaps of free time. I haven't looked at it on my phone so I'm not sure if it translates to mobile but it's better than nothing.

How do I view in calendar format? I can't find that option.

Sorry about that! I should have read more carefully.
