Fundraising & CRM Track
For this track, we are looking for sessions that will help attendees learn fundraising and constituent relationship management (CRM) best practices or see outcomes with Blackbaud’s fundraising management tools specifically eTapestry, Raiser’s Edge, Raiser’s Edge NXT, Luminate CRM, and Blackbaud CRM. We encourage you to submit success stories associated with the aforementioned solutions. We are also interested in sessions that aren’t product specific and those topics might include how organizations can develop deeper supporter relationships, manage processes, drive user adoption or implement these solutions to drive greater efficiencies and help organizations reach fundraising and program management objectives.To view full conference program, click here.
