Blackbaud's 2010 Conference for Nonprofits – Day 3

This is the last day of Blackbaud’s 2010 Conference for Nonprofits here in Washington, DC. It has been an amazing conference so far and things wrap-up later today.

Blackbaud’s CEO Marc Chardon will be facilitating a panel to discuss Global Trends and What They Mean to You. On the panel will be:
– Christie Garton – USA TODAY Kindness Blogger and Moderator
– Dr. John Mc Loughlin – Managing Director (Europe), Global Philanthropic
– Stacy Palmer – Editor, The Chronicle of Philanthropy
– Andrew Watt – Chief Programs Officer, Association of Fundraising Professionals

My big session of the day is “Mobile Fundraising and Marketing Demystified” and is a follow-up to a presentation that I gave in London last week. We’ll be posting lots of sessions on slideshare so look for them soon.
