@Crystal Bruce I'll be there in person since the Super Users are back for another Q&A session! I can't wait to see everyone and collect some more awesome swag (I seriously use that Community mug all. the. time.)

@Crystal Bruce BBCon is valuable to me because it helps provide context and understanding on how to get the most out of the technology platform we are using. Other benefits include networking with peers and fundraising professionals to gain insights into the latest trends in this industry. We also have a lot of fun in the process!!!

@Crystal Bruce, sadly, I am attending virtually this year, as the date change put bbcon in direct conflict with one of our major fundraising events. Bbcon is valuable because of the connections I make and the knowledge I gain from my peers and the experts. I will miss presenting again this year with the “ask the experts” panel but will be cheering them on from afar!

@Crystal Bruce I'll be attending in-person for the first time, and looking forward to meeting other Luminate/TeamRaiser users in order to share experiences with the platforms!

@Crystal Bruce Attending in person and very excited since this is my first time back since Covid! I love the networking - the chance to talk to others using BB tools across so many locations, verticals, etc. always teaches me something new.

@Crystal Bruce Attending virtually for the third year! BBCON has been amazing for me to learn how others are implementing the BB platform for their establishments.

@Crystal Bruce I'll be attending virtually.
bbcon is valuable because of the great info from the various sessions. Last year, I really enjoyed the virtual breakout groups. 1 -
@Crystal Bruce I'll be attending in person from Philadelphia. Connecting with other Altru users as well as Blackbaud partners is the most important part. Although I also like the swag. ?

I am attending in-person. bbcon is valuable to me because it allows me to network with colleagues from everywhere and share our experiences. I look forward to learning from my peers especially regarding Grantmaking. Also, the food and swag are pretty great too!2 -
@Crystal Bruce I'll be attending in person this year. I feel like the registration price increased last year and I wasn't prepared for that budget-wise. This year I was able to plan better! Seeing everyone and learning so much fills my cup and keeps me doing what I do. I love bbcon, I love Blackbaud, and mostly I love the people who work at BB and those who use the tools and work in the social good sector!

@Crystal Bruce I will be there in-person this year! After being able to attend in-person for the first time ever last year, the experience was everything I had hoped for and more!

@Crystal Bruce I am just a virtual attendee this year, unfortunately. Last year was my first in-person and I so valued being forced into more social situations. Being in the company of other like-minded people, though, made it easier. I love the varied options of sessions and the fact that, regardless of the actual topic discussed, I almost always learned some other little tidbit about NXT that I didn't know. So helpful.

@Crystal Bruce I'll be in person and just looking forward to seeing a bunch of fellow BB users in person and talking shop.

@Crystal Bruce - There are a few reasons I am a long-time attendee: networking, opportunities to talk to directly with product developers, connecting with session presenters/product experts, and getting early access to upcoming product updates and announcements.

As a new-ish BB user from the east coast of Canada, I will attend virtually. I'm looking forward to learning more about maximizing my use of Grantmaking - it's revolutionized our process and it's such a powerful tool that I look forward to learning about features or tricks to further enhance our system!2 -
I am attending virtually this year. I'm really hoping for in-person next year. I miss the in-person comradery and networking that takes place at bbcon. It's so valuable to be able to chit-chat with people who do what you do on a daily basis. The things you can learn and take back to your school can really help your organization.

@Crystal Bruce I am attending virtually this year but hope to attend in-person next year. There are so many takeaways from a conference but being able to connect with people in similar roles, who are using the same platforms, and exchanging ideas is probably one of the most valuable.

@Crystal Bruce I will be attending virtually. Just not in the budget for me to attend in person.

@Crystal Bruce attending bbcon is valuable to me because it is chance for me to ask questions and learn from the experts. Another benefit of attending bbcon is that I get a chance to engage with fellow Grantmaking users. I also feel like attending bbcon energizes me and makes me want to do more to help those we partner with in Greater Cincinnati.

@Crystal Bruce Attending BBCON is HUGE for us! In the Business Office, half of our team just hit their 1 year anniversary, and we are still learning every day. Talking to others who use similar software and learning best practices in each product will help us make processes more efficient!
