  • @Crystal Bruce It has been a long time since I have attended an in person BBCON due to budget constraints. I attended last year virtually as it was free. Super excited to attend this year!! What I love about BBCON is learning new things about Raiser's Edge that I didn't know or faster ways to do something. I also love networking at these events. Looking forward to Denver!! #bbcon23

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I will be attending virtually. Hopefully the virtual content does not go back to a super limited menu.

  • @Crystal Bruce I will be attending virtually. On the session catalog it says that some will be available virtually. Is there a list of what sessions we can expect to attend virtually?

    @Crystal Bruce I am attending in person for the first time! I am so excited, yet anxious since I have no idea what to expect. I will definitely be researching as much as I can before arriving. I am anticipating learning too much to process between the in-person chats with fellow users and the many breakout sessions.

  • @Crystal Bruce I am attending virtually again this year. I have loved the times I was attending in-person. Meeting friends, making new ones, the ability to ask questions and get immediate, live responses, not to mention the fun of the trade floor, the activities, and getting to learn from wonderful speakers is absolutely invaluable. Maybe next year for me! ?

  • @Crystal Bruce Attending in person again (finally!). Looking forward to the amazing networking that sadly was just not the same virtually. Registrars and those of the like, I look forward to meeting you and learning from you as I always do!

    @Crystal Bruce I am! It's important to me because it's important to stay on top of new ideas, offerings and releases. And it is SUPER important to meet and brainstorm with like-minded users from around the country. Wouldn't miss it!

  • @Crystal Bruce Looking forward to Denver, interested in connecting with Faith Based Orgs. , other Diocese as well.

    @Crystal Bruce - It is such a great opportunity to connect with peers working in different verticals and with different products. You never know when one conversation sparks an “ah-ha” moment that changes how you approach something.


  • @Crystal Bruce Yes!!! BBCON is a great way to meet people and get ideas and learn new things!! I love that we can attend Virtually or in-Person!! This gives everyone an opportunity to attend!!

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I am attending in person! I haven't been in person since it was in Maryland (2017???) I was nervous during the first time but once I arrived I immediately felt comfortable and realized I was with MY PEOPLE! That is the best part of it, especially if you are the only Blackbaud guru in your organization, you are surrounded by like minded people who love the products just as much as you! I am happy that there is now a Healthcare vertical (6 yrs ago, there was not), so I am hoping to meet more colleagues that work in healthcare

    @Crystal Bruce
    Attending is valuable for me because we learn so much from each other. We are all committed to our organizations mission (cause). We can share with each other our fundraising needs

    @Crystal Bruce Glad to have the chance to still attend virtually. Always great to learn from peers and experts, make connections, and find out what is happening and what is coming - soon and long term.

    @Crystal Bruce The networking is one of the most valuable things for me. Though this year, hugging my friends because we'll finally be together in person is maybe even more important!

  • @Crystal Bruce, I did not attend BBCON this year – the timing conflicted with another conference I attend that is specifically aligned to my job. I did watch a couple of the sessions virtually later, but it is hard to make time for them in the last quarter of the year (we are on a calendar year fiscal year).

  • @Carlene Johnson I missed seeing you in 2023, but I sure do look forward to seeing you this year!!!
