There was a post today in the Facebook RE User Group about what live conferences are available. There are only a couple that I know of, and not all Database Manager/RE related. I said "we need a Blackbaud Community Conference"!!!! That got some likes!!!!


What say you!!! I know it can't be a live in-person thing, but what about a virtual "community-con"????

    That would be extremely cool. Always up for virtual meetups/cons when my availability allows.

    I LOVE IT! Yes, I'm in. I can help facilitate that. We had a ninja meetup last month virtually and it was awesome. How many others would be interested???

    This kinda fizzled, but I definitely think we need a virtual Community meet-up at bbcon!

    We are getting closer to making these virtual meetups a reality! We have the ninja meetup already, but love the idea of a virtual community meet up at bbcon. Challenge is scheduling! We don't want to take away from anyone's experience. Maybe a lunch meetup?

    A Community conference sounds so fun though. Can you imagine the virtual sessions?!
