Why are you attending bbcon?
This was one of the questions on the bbcon bingo card that I didn't see a topic for. There are many reasons why I am attending bbcon. I want to stay current and up-to-date on my knowledge of Blackbaud. Systems are constantly changing and adding new features. People can come together to share their successes and failures and create a positive environment to aid one another.

Hello! So glad you started this post! I also want to keep up with the changes. I am still fairly new to the system as I started my position in January. I work mostly with Education Management and often fond myself troubleshooting for others. Attending bbcon sounds like a great idea for me to get better acquainted with the company and the products.1 -
There are always excellent speakers and topics!

@Karen Mercier - I agree about the speakers. I am fascinated by how BBcon finds them

@Courtney Stern BBcon is the best place. I have been using Raiser's Edge for over 15 years and I am always learning something new or a new update is released.

@Barbara Kunkel I am interested in how speakers are found as well, as I just received an email thanking me for speaking at this year's bbcon (I'm NOT!) ?

@Lauren Henderson
I just received the same email.1 -
I'm attending mainly because it's free and virtual - I don't know what sessions I want to attend in particular, so the opportunity to attend any and all sessions so easily is fantastic.

@Barbara Kunkel I always love to hear the creative ways others are using BB products to meet their orgs needs. Undoubtedly, I end up hearing something that I never thought of doing before but is a really genius solution that I can bring back to our team.

@Dan Snyder - you are so true. Sometimes I say - now why didn't I think of that

@Lauren Henderson I'm with you! I love the product and can't wait to find out what's coming. Simu Liu doesn't hurt either ?

My biggest reason is to get some tips on using the product as well as seeing the product roadmaps.

@Barbara Kunkel, I am so excited to attend bbcon again this year for the sessions and the opportunity to meet new people. I know it is virtual, and I pray they bring back the in person, but the network opportunities are the main reason I attend. I like to hear different perspectives of all types of organizations. It is the little things I pick up and implement that make a huge impact on my organization and me as a professional.

I am attending because it is free and virtual. But also to learn things!

To learn from peers - the best way to learn!

Swag opportunities, obviously

@Barbara Kunkel I always attend bbcon because I love learning new things and connecting with other data nerds all over the country. The friendships and networking connections I have made at bbcon have been long lasting and very useful!

I 100% always get something new and useful, plus I love the BBcon community.1 -

@Barbara Kunkel - This will be my first time attending in person. I am looking forward to meeting my peers and learning more about Blackbaud. And hoping I can find some peers to talk to about Blackbaud Grantmaking.
