Congratulations to all of our bbcon 2021 Session Speakers!

Hi all! I am the DBA at Jack & Jill Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL! We are so excited because we opened a brand new state-of-the-art elementary school for this school year! I am presenting in two sessions with the awesome @Amy Dana, @Carlene Johnson, @Stephanie Crawley & @Ryan Hyde! Our sessions are “What is a Database Manager?​ The SeQueL” and “Quick Wins: Empowering Database Managers”. Come one come all!!

Thank you for the introduction! I'm so looking forward to sharing with, learning from and connecting with all of you. I'm Natasha O'Donnell, Annual Giving Manager at the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation in New Brunswick, Canada. My colleague Alejandro Joven, our Database Administrator, and I will be sharing our journey with NXT's Workflow, building engaging stewardship programming.

Hi! I'm Carlene Johnson from Boston College High School in Dorchester, MA. BC High is a Jesuit, Catholic college preparatory school serving young men in grades 7-12.

I've been lucky enough to join up with @Patti Hommes, @Ryan Hyde, @Amy Dana, and @Stephanie Crawley for a couple of presentations. Our sessions are What Is a Database Manager? The SeQueL and Quick Wins: Empowering Database Managers. We're lucky enough to have the fantastic @Ashley Sweeney introducing our sessions as well.

I'm really excited about bbcon and can't wait to “meet” many of you in the chat room for our sessions! I know that you all (my fellow nerds!) will have some great comments, questions, and content to share.

I can't sign off without mentioning that @Sunshine Watson and @Heather MacKenzie were incredible behind the scenes contributors to our sessions. We couldn't have done it without them.

Looking forward to bbcon 2021! See you soon!

Hi all! My session “?Love & Money?: A Titillating Tale of Analytics and Strategy” will demonstrate how analytics and data intelligence can close fundraising gaps, create sustainability and GROW contributed income lines. I'm a “toddler” fundraising with almost three years under my belt in a formal fundraising role (although we all know that NPO professionals do all the things and wear all the hats!). Analytics helped my org (Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area) close a $1M fundraising deficit and turn it around in to a $1M surplus in less than two years. If we can do it, YOU can do it! Join me!

Azlan Cuttilan:

Hey everybody! @Tom Hedges and I shall have a session titled “Making the web accessible to all” where we shall discuss the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in web pages and applications, a few common issues and ways to overcome them, alongside ways we are working to ensure we provide the best experience for everybody. We shall be mainly looking at this subject from a higher level and will also be including some easy technical solutions.

@Azlan Cuttilan, having worked at Perkins School for the Blind in the past, I know how important this is! Excited that this session is happening at bbcon. Really looking forward to it!

Hello everyone. Thanks for sharing information about your sessions. We are a talented bunch ?

Technology solutions (like the many that Blackbaud offers) can provide important information, resources, and visualizations. This is well and good for those of us who dive in, enjoy the options, and want to get the most out of every feature. But, how do you make the solution and the data it presents part of your culture? Please join Emily Berry and I as we share Miami University Advancement's journey as we embed data into our development culture. We look forward to seeing you there!
