Share: What bbcon 2024 Sessions Are You Most Excited About!

Crystal Bruce

The bbcon 2024 sessions are now live. What are you most excited about? Let us know!

Amy Barker

@Crystal Bruce definitely interested in this one! The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up Your Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® Database

Angela Finley Hunter

@Crystal Bruce
I am most excited to see all things Blackbaud Grantmaking!

Christine Robertson

@Crystal Bruce So hard to choose - lots of great content in store!!

Keith Wilson

@Crystal Bruce I am most excited about “Peer-to-Peer Panel #1: Elevating the Here & Now” and “Automated Recurring Gifts for Online Giving: Everything You Want to Know but Didn't Know Who to Ask”! Why? Because I am honored to be a speaker at those sessions--my first time speaking at BBCon! ?

Patti Hommes

@Crystal Bruce, Ask the Super Users: Raiser’s Edge NXT User Panel 3.0 - Part 1! Because they are all AMAZING! (I may be a tad bit biased )

Whitney Shelton

@Crystal Bruce Data maintenance and health is one of the most important aspects of my position. Without it, our reports are wrong and chaos ensues (okay that's a bit dramatic)

Super excited about the session presented by Jim Steiner, Sara O'Hare, Russell Presgraves, and Maurren Wallbeoff called:
Getting Your Data Into Shape: The Path to Innovation

KAS Shannon Knight

@Crystal Bruce – I'm looking forward to multiple Altru sessions this year!

Lauren Henderson

@Crystal Bruce All the K-12 focused sessions as well as Power Automate/Power BI content! I'm looking forward to hearing from friends and experts and learning from them.

Elizabeth Johnson

@Crystal Bruce

Like @Keith Wilson this will be my first year speaking at bbcon and I'm so honored to have been chosen both by Blackbaud and by @Dan Snyder!

Like @Patti Hommes I may be a little biased If you are a Google shop come check us out for our presentation "Do I have the "Power"? Google and the Power Platform."

We are so looking forward to it!

Spring Velazquez

@Elizabeth Johnson I wish I was going to be there to see that session! As a Google shop in a BB/MS world I sometimes feel like the red-headed step-child!

Miki Martin

@Crystal Bruce perusing the sessions, I think Getting Your Data Into Shape: The Path to Innovation sounds really helpful for our org. While everything ends up in NXT I still feel things could certainly be better. If I was at my old org, I would definitely be attending Do I have the "Power"? Google and the Power Platform since they were Google-based.

Dan Snyder

@Keith Wilson I'll be a bit biased too as a first time speaker. I get to work with my bbcon and VT buddy @Elizabeth Johnson on "Do I have the "Power"? Google and the Power Platform" and @Jim Ballou now at Microsoft but was my Power Automate Sensei when I took the accelerator course before it was on-demand! That session is called “Driving Operational Excellence: A Low-Code Approach for Nonprofits and Education Institutions.” And last but not least the Ask the Super Users Panel that @Patti Hommes mentioned.

Marie Stark

@Crystal Bruce Superusers sessions are always good!

Gari Fowler

@Crystal Bruce As an eTapestry user, I am most interested in eTapestry Growing Pains: When to consider a Raiser's Edge NXT migration and Cut the Clutter: Best Practices to Streamline and Clean Your Blackbaud eTapestry® Database.

Beth Broomall

@Crystal Bruce as a Blackbaud Grantmaking user, I am excited to see sessions for BBGM. While I am excited about all the sessions, I am excited to learn more about Change Up Your Questions - Exploring what you ask your grantees and how." Looking forward to seeing everyone in Seattle!

Ray Borkman

Loving all this #BlackbaudGrantmaking love!

Any of you Blackbaud Grantmaking users attending, come find me and I'll buy you a Co-Cola (with or without spirits added! ?)

JoAnn Strommen

@Crystal Bruce Power Automate - learning how it could help us even as a smaller org. And of course anything related to data.

Topher Lovell

@Crystal Bruce excited for the data maintence sessions and the NXT super user session!

Claudia A. Alvarez

@Crystal Bruce I'm most excited for

• Automated Recurring Gifts for Online Giving: Everything You Want to Know but Didn't Know Who to Ask &
• Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® Web View Query: All-New Uses of a Classic Database Tool
  

Joan Perry

@Crystal Bruce There are so many sessions I am interested in - from donation forms to database management to change management to integration of products - I am hoping more than keynote and plenary sessions are available for the virtual attendees.

To name just a few (and I have multiples in some breakout sessions - ALWAYS the challenge)

• The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up Your Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® Database
• Keep or Delete Data? Latest Thoughts for Consideration (with @Bill Connors - who misses that!!)
• Wash, Rinse, Repeat: Actionable Fundraising Tactics Using Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® and Analytics
• Ask the Super Users: Raiser’s Edge NXT User Panel 3.0 - Part 1 (Go All Stars!)
• Data Governance Made Fun and Easy!
• Have You Inherited a Mess? Taking Your Database from Hot Mess to Success
• Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® Web View Query: All-New Uses of a Classic Database Tool
• It’s the Little Things 2.0: 50 More Ways to Increase Productivity in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT®
• Donor Data Platforms - the Next Big Thing in Nonprofit Technology
  

Lizzie Schaffer

@Crystal Bruce The 2024 Startup Showcase event is going to be ridiculously amazing, so I highly recommend that everyone add that to their conference agendas to hear from 14 participants in Blackbaud's Social Good Startup Program as they pitch their impactful, innovative and extensible solutions to a panel of judges including members of Blackbaud's executive leadership team. Attendees will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorites, so y'all don't want to miss this!

Catie Wools

@Crystal Bruce I am SO excited for The Art of Charts and Data Governance Made Fun and Easy!!!

Kim McAmis

@Crystal Bruce I'm excited to be attending Pre-Conference sessions for the first time this year! I'm also very happy to see more K-12 sessions at bbcon now that the K12UC is no more.
