CHARLESTON, S.C. (Nov. 19, 2008)– Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB), concluded its ninth annual Blackbaud Conference for Nonprofits today. With more than 1200 nonprofit leaders from around the world, the three-day conference featured 120 sessions focused on Internet strategy, fundraising, technology, financial management, prospecting and analysis, marketing, and leadership.

"My colleagues from the Florida State University Foundation and I found Blackbaud's Conference for Nonprofits to be very beneficial,” said Jeanne Pecha, the Foundation’s assistant vice president, Advancement Services. “The information presented at the application and technology sessions, particularly related to the Infinity platform seems very promising. Also exciting is the impact that the Internet and social networking will have on future fundraising strategies.

“Meeting and networking with colleagues from around the country enabled us to form connections that are important to FSU since we are a relatively new enterprise client of Blackbaud's. Most impressive was the availability of, not only the consultants, but also the key executives. They were all willing to spend their time discussing current issues and sharing ideas about the future.”
