Right now, I'm most excited about the session with Bill Connors: Query, Lists, Mailings and the New Export in the Raiser's Edge Web View: What Do We Do Where? We have embraced the unified view, so I'm eager to learn how the New Export fits into our practice. I also want to be able to share with my colleagues how they can use this feature.

Second on the list would have to be the Raiser’s Edge NXT Super User Panel: Real Problems, Real Solutions, Real Fun. These are always helpful.

I also hope to learn what workarounds are being used to replace the standard reports that are not coming to unified view.

I have two because I believe they go hand in hand:

Unified View in Practice: A Migration Playbook for Teams Moving off Database View

and

What's Next For Gift Processing

My team is gearing up for this transition and are trying to learn everything we can prior to the transition.

Ashley Petty · July 7

I am most excited about

Query, Set, Go! From Import to Export in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT®

I am looking forward to learning more about import in RENXT.

Julissa Dahlberg · July 8

I am most excited about this session as it's mainly my focus in RENXT:

What's Next For Gift Processing

My second session is:

Query, Lists, Mailings and the New Export in the Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® Web View: What Do We Do Where?

I went to Bill's session last year and he was really great!

Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® Super User Panel: Real Problems, Real Solutions, Real Fun

This looks like a great session as well!

Dan Snyder · July 9

Going to steal from @Julissa Dahlberg and @Ashley Petty and say a couple I am looking forward to are:

AND

Lauren Henderson · July 9

I am excited for this session:

The Human Side of Technology: Driving Adoption Through Culture Change

As I am actively in the middle of system changes at my organization, and I know the presenters are top-notch!

Irene Hui · July 10

If I were to attend in-person it would be:

Turning Benchmark Insights into Fundraising Strategy

It would be helpful to gain more insight into ways to leverage our use of donorCentrics as this is our first year benchmarking. :)

Tara Chappell · July 10

These: Unified View in Practice: A Migration Playbook for Teams Moving off Database View and Month-End Close Optimization: From Chaos to a 10-Day Close in Nonprofit Finance
I hope they are part of the virtual sessions. 🤞

Jamie Waileia Mineshima-Eldredge · July 13

Most excited about: Bill Connors: Query, Lists, Mailings and the New Export in the Raiser's Edge Web View: What Do We Do Where?

Bill is the GOAT and everyone will walk away with more knowledge and empowerment to get their jobs done correctly. (I would love to see more sessions from Bill!)

I always learn from the Super User Panel, so excited for: Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® Super User Panel: Real Problems, Real Solutions, Real Fun

And I always look forward to hearing from Anthony! So excited to attend: What's Next For Gift Processing

Rachel Cavalier · July 16

I'm particularly interested in the sessions led by Community members - hopefully they will be among the recorded session available to access virtually for those of us unable to attend in person.

Sunshine Reinken Watson · July 20

I am looking forward to "The Human Side of Technology: Driving Adoption Through Culture Change" and other community led sessions.

Sara Niemiec · July 23

I'm always good for a data cleanup session, so I'd be interested in "From Messy to Meaningful: A 90-Day Data Hygiene Spring in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT."

Alison Munson · July 23

Making Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® Your Own: A Hands‑On Demo of SKY Add-in Customizations with Alex Wong. I hope to take away a new add in and get ideas for future possiblilities.
