    I would love to see a session where a few folks showcase the reporting they have created using Insight Designer. A bit of a deep dive on Insight Designer would be so great!

    @Crystal Bruce I can never say this enough…. If you are good at something, that something is a session topic idea! Just do it!!! Your proposal won't be accepted if you don't submit one!

  • @Crystal Bruce Hoping to come back to talk more about our journey with continuous enrollment. I would love to see a session about engaging alumni how to get them to come back and opt in.

  • @Crystal Bruce I love to just learn how others have used RE in Higher Education settings, best practices in Higher Ed fundraising etc. All the things Higher Education fundraising.

  • @Crystal Bruce I would love to attend a session to talk about Donor Portal, how it works and what are some of the pros/cons, from the Donor's perspective and staffs' perspective. Does anyone use it for events?

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I would like to know more about best practices - naming conventions in all areas, acknowledgements and agreements

  • @Crystal Bruce
    Would love a session dedicated to the new AI tools in RE NXT!

    @Crystal Bruce Hello! I can't seem to log into the portal and keep getting errors. Any idea what might be causing that?

    @Crystal Bruce I didn't want to create a new post for this question, but do you know when we will be notified if our submission was accepted?

  • @Crystal Bruce We would love to attend sessions about Enrollment Management. Specifically, Applications, Contracts and Checklists.

  • @Dariel Dixon
    Did you ever find out if your BBCON speaker submission was accepted?

  • @Dariel Dixon
    I saw something from BB that notifications should have occurred in mid-June (June 18, specifically) which, unfortunately, sounds like a “no news is bad news” methodology.

    @Jason Weaver I kinda got that impression as well. I guess that's a no then. Which is fine. I haven't heard anything @Mark Guncheon, but that speaker submission was the catalyst for me to attend. bbcon is not cheap by any means, but I'll try again next year.

  • @Dariel Dixon
    I agree on the catalyst idea. Will attend virtually.

  • @Dariel Dixon My circumstances and thoughts exactly. ?

    @Dariel Dixon

    Have you attended virtually in the past? I have and thought it was a complete waste of my time.

  • @Karen Diener
    I agree. Virtually, you are unable to see most sessions. There are plenty of sessions promoting BB products and vendors but we miss out on the individual sessions and attendees. Sure you can set up chats but the software in the past has been a struggle for me to do group chats.

  • @Crystal Bruce

    Altru Power-User sessions. Give us some trainings beyond what's in the those free, high level classes. Give us a reason to come to BBCon that's ALTRU SPECIFIC - not OG, not a third party sales pitch masked as a session.

    Please, PLEASE give us multiple, real Altru sessions - teach us how best to use this software. Best practices for record management, finance setup, real automations, membership programs, etc. Give us deep dives to make our lives easier.
