Conference '08 Newsletter

Valerie Bonano — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:59:39 GMT

I have two questions:

Has anyone been able to successfully print out the Session grid PDF so that it is readable to the naked eye?

The next question is actually for Blackbaud:

I see where they are going green and issuing USBs in lieu of printed materials. Does this require a laptop be brought? Or are we just supposed to print down our own stuff?

I didnt think I was that technically challenged, but maybe I am?

Does anyone have a recommendation (or 2) for good hotels near the convention center? All of the rooms in the immediate vicinty are sold out,but I don't mind driving a few miles for a nice place. Am more than willing to offer rides back and forth for those interested.

Share a room at Embassy?

Melissa Graves — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:09:46 GMT

I am looking to share a room (and the cost) at the Embassy for the Charleston Conference. I have one already reserved but still want a female non-smoking roommate.

The embassy is the hotel attached to the conference center so it is very convenient and has a better breakfast.

If you already reserved a room somewhere else you can check your cancellation policy but likely have plenty of time to cancel your room.

BB Conference - RE Users.

Melissa Graves — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 22:39:48 GMT

...Sorry for the cross posting with RE Users Forum... I am working with the conference coordinator this year to try to find a way for Forum RE users to get together in some way at the conference. I offered to try to coordinate this because I suggested it last year and although it seemed like a great idea in practice they never implemented anything. As coordinator all I promise to do for you is get us a room and meeting time. I can't promise cocktails and a buffet - although... wouldn't that be nice! They have asked me for an estimate number of people who might be interested so they can see if a room is available and therfore.. Please reply to me directly if you will be attending the conference in October in Charleston, SC. Please also let me know if you would be interested in a reception or meeting place on Sunday during pre-conference, a meeting time during the week in lieu of a conference session, or have another idea for meeting up. If you are attending and you think meeting up with the forum does not interest you also please let me know. It gives us a full picture of the feasibility of this. Melissa S.

I'm looking for any orgs. who have established on-line communities on their websites for their donors. I attended a session on this last fall at the conference and we are ready to move forward with this. But I would really like to find a few folks with some experience with this. thanks!

PR For the Real World

Megan Anton — Tue, 28 Oct 2003 14:30:03 GMT

To all you lucky people that get to attend the conference next week: Is there anyone who will be attending the "PR for the Real World: How to Refocus and Recharge Your Organization's Communications Programs"? Back when there was hope of me going to the conference, I saw this session and really wanted to go to it. I will be doing a literature audit of every piece of print material our organization has. I thought that this session would be very helpful to me. If there is anyone that is going and wouldn't mind sharing thier notes with me, I would really appreciate it. Feel free to post here or contact me directly at [Email Removed] Thanks, Megan
