  • @Crystal Bruce I have been using blackbaud products for nearly two decades (!) and this will be my first bbcon. I am looking forward to meeting peers IRL and growing my community.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    Attending virtually this year. Would love to attend in person, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit in our budget ?

  • @Crystal Bruce
    We've just converted to Raiser's Edge this year, and am excited to have an in-person opportunity to learn as much as I can so that I can really take advantage of what there is to offer. Also, looking forward to meeting and making connections.

    @Crystal Bruce I'll be there in person and find the opportunity to connect and interact with peers, experts, vendors, and BB staff is invaluable. For sure, the content of the sessions is important, but those conversations and connections are not to be missed!

    Also, the desserts. #therebetterbedessertsatbbcon (IFKYK!)

    @Crystal Bruce Not able to this year with a nice location for us. :( Maybe next year.

  • @Crystal Bruce I'll be there virtually. Really hope to make it in person one day. In addition to being a great learning experience, I look forwarding to geeking out with like minded people.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I'll be attending virtually this year. I will miss the interaction, but always learn something in the sessions.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I enjoy getting motivated by the Keynote Speakers. Everyone on a BB product must attend!!

    @Crystal Bruce This will be my first time attending bbcon in person. I am excited to learn from the keynote speakers and interact with my fellow colleagues using Blackbaud Grantmaking.

    @Crystal Bruce - I'll be there in person. I love the sparks, ah-ha moments that originate from talking to peers in person, sharing ideas, and connecting.

  • @Crystal Bruce I'm not signed up to attend bbcon in person this year but hope to be able to benefit from all the excellent learning and connecting next time! I am registered to participate virtually! ?

    @Crystal Bruce I can't go in person this year, but I'm hoping the sessions I want to see I can catch online. Down the road I hope to be able to attend in person. The sessions in person when I went in 2014 were great. The networking was really helpful too.

  • @Crystal Bruce Aloha from Hawaii! I'll be the newbie attending my very first bbcon! Looking forward to making new connections and gaining new knowledge?

    @Crystal Bruce I'm attending my first “in person” BBCon and could not be more excited!! I'm looking forward to the experience of what a live BBCon is like. I'm also hoping to glean some new tips and tricks from the sessions and elevating NXT admin skills.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I'll be attending virtually this year. I always look forward to the Keynote Speakers and hearing what some of my peers are up to with their software products.

  • @Crystal Bruce Virtual for me this year. Always looking forward to connecting with past friends and making new ones.

  • @Crystal Bruce, I'd really like to attend but don't know if it'll happen this year. I've been to many bbcons and several K-12 user conferences and they've all been amazing. The resources and information you come back with are fabulous. Even better are the people you meet and connect with and then stay in touch with after the event. We are each other's best resources!

    @Crystal Bruce I am 80% sure I will be! Just waiting for 100% confirmation that my session is approved. I sure how so, because I really want to go! It's so important to me. Being surrounded by like minded people is so helpful. I always learn new things, new ideas, new ways to tackle issues!

  • @Crystal Bruce I'll be there virtually and hope to attend in person soon! I enjoyed speaking at the event last year, and I hope to learn from others this year!

  • @Crystal Bruce I'm attending virtually this year due a work event the same week! I wish I could just attend University day though! So much to learn :)

  • @Crystal Bruce I'll be there in person, I hope to be presenting with a group. I love the sparks, sharing ideas, and connecting with others. This will only be my second time in person, and I hope I make as many new connections as I did the first time. I got so many ideas for things to help out my org!

  • @Crystal Bruce, sadly, the timing of this happens during our fiscal year end/audit circus and will not be able to attend! ?‍?️

  • @Crystal Bruce

    I love attendng bbcon but this year will be virtual. Conversations with friends, ah-ha! moments, the ability to bring questions and have in-person feedback is so helpful. It reinforces the community experience.

  • @Crystal Bruce Will be attending bbcon virtually this year. Looking forward to new ideas and learning.

    @Crystal Bruce I can't wait to be there in person! After having presented a couple of times remotely, I'm really excited about being able to present with folks in the room!

    I'm also really looking forward to learning in a lot of sessions, hugging my fellow nerds in person, and interacting with vendors and BB staff. Not to mention, the SWAG from the vendor booths! It is always fun to see what creative items folks are offering.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I would love to be attending in person, but this falls right before our major fall gala. Love going for the sessions and learning best practices from other users.

    @Crystal Bruce I'll be there, hopefully presenting again, and CAN"T WAIT to see everyone in person again! I look forward to listening, learning, hugging, scooping up the SWAG and yes, @Carlene Johnson #therebetterbedessertsatbbcon!

  • @Crystal Bruce
    Definately will be attending, but virtual or in person is up in the air. I have to look at scheduling and see what I can do, I would love to go in person though.
