The bbdevdays 2026 session lineup is live! bbdevdays is your gateway to finding new ways to extend your Blackbaud solutions, learn new skills, and build your community. bbdevdays 2026 includes a growing set of sessions for K–12 schools focused on automation, reporting, and making better use of school data. 

This year’s agenda includes practical walkthroughs using Google Sheets, Power BI, Power Automate, and SKY API to reduce manual processes and surface insights that matter to school leadership, advancement, and operations teams. Sessions are intentionally accessible, with clear explanations and examples grounded in real school environments. 

Highlights include: 

• Power BI Time Intelligence with Education Management: Year‑to‑Date Comparisons  
• Connecting Blackbaud Lists to Google Sheets with SKY API* 
• Building Production‑Ready Blackbaud SKY API Integrations: Real‑World Patterns That Scale* 
• Compare your Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® and Education Management data using Power BI 
• What Parents Actually Want From Your School Data (And How to Deliver It)  

If you’re supporting advancement, enrollment, or operational reporting at a school, there’s a lot here that’s immediately applicable.
