bbcon 2020 Virtual is less than two weeks away! bbcon, the tech conference for a better world, is a global, virtual gathering that will unite the social good community on October 6–8.

Last year, at bbcon 2019, we announced that the Blackbaud Labs team was launching a new initiative to expand our ecosystem of good with innovative tech startups—the Blackbaud Social Good Startup Challenge.

This year underscored the critical role of the social good community and also challenged every organization in unique ways. But history (and data) prove that giving is resilient, that generosity perseveres.

To help the social good community turn this data into actionable insights, the Blackbaud Institute is launching a webinar series, which will dive deep into the results for each social good sector and provide analysis into what these numbers mean now and for the future.

At Blackbaud, we join our colleagues and customers around the world in recognizing Pride Month.

Now more than ever, the topic of EQUALITY needs a strong, unified voice and strong, unified action in the United States and around the world. This transcends politics. This is about fundamental human rights and the values that our company, Blackbaud, holds so closely.

While the world is social distancing, you’re still social differencing™.

Because of the impacts of COVID-19, we are making bbcon 2020 Virtual FREE for all to attend October 6-8!

For nearly two months, our team has been hard at work exploring every option for bbcon 2020, the tech conference for a better world, and we’re excited to share our plan with you today. We’re shifting bbcon 2020 from a physical setting to a global virtual gathering October 6-8.

We asked our Blackbaud Champions™ to share advice and tips on how they’re engaging, inspiring, enlightening and entertaining their supporters and staff alike during COVID-19.

Blackbaud’s commitment to building a better world is central to everything we do including the way we give back as a company and how we teach our employees about the importance of philanthropy.

The current pandemic crisis shows just how much the nation’s healthcare system is relied upon and valued. People are eager to support the healthcare workers who are selflessly giving of themselves. Now is the time for hospital and health system foundations to show the community how they can help and the impact of their organization on the community. Blackbaud Healthcare Solutions™ is committed to helping these important organizations navigate the changes they are facing.

Like so many industries, arts and cultural organizations are experiencing a rapid digital transformation. Consumer expectations are changing quickly – it’s no longer a novelty to have an app or to incorporate technology as part of the in-person experience. Add to that the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation which is causing many arts and cultural organizations to shift their operations online.

During this unprecedented time, social good organizations, like nearly all industries globally, are adjusting their strategies and day-to-day operations for the impacts of COVID-19. Our top priorities at Blackbaud are ensuring the safety of our employees and their families and supporting our customers in their missions, which for many are especially critical during this time.

First and foremost—our thoughts are with you, your families, and everyone throughout the world who has been impacted by COVID-19. As your organization begins navigating through this rapidly changing situation, please know your success continues to be our top priority. Our global team is committed to you and your mission.

We would like to express our appreciation for the strength, compassion, and preparedness of our social good customers, partners, and organizations who are providing aid during this time.
