Welcome to this week's edition of THE BUZZ! In this edition, you will find: a bbcon 2022 resource round-up, RSVP to events, featured jobs, and helping out your fellow community members to earn bonus points in community, and more...Happy Thursday, Blackbaud Community!

bbcon 2022 is almost here!

We are less than a week away from bbcon 2022 Virtual, taking place October 17th & 18th. Have you registered for this year’s free online conference? If not, don’t worry - there’s still time!

Also, be sure to check out these useful resources to help you prepare and get the most out of the experience:

Ask questions, discuss sessions, claim your attendee badge, and build connections ahead of this year’s conference in our dedicated bbcon community.
Need help deciding which sessions to attend? Check out the blog posts on sgENGAGE highlighting which sessions you might find most relevant based on your organization type or role, and see which sessions your fellow community members are excited about here.
Get into the spirit (and earn a lot of points!) by playing bbcon bingo! We’ve had almost 15 members call bingo so far but there’s no limit to the number of members who can play. Click here to join in the fun through Wednesday, October 19th!
