The 2008 Blackbaud Asia Pacific Customer Conference is a two-day professional development and networking event for Blackbaud clients. Industry Speakers and Blackbaud product experts will deliver practical advice and share their experiences to help you maximise fundraising performance for your organisation. Topics covered will include online trends, Web 2.0, and recurring giving, with many local case studies demonstrating best practice.
We invite you to join the Blackbaud team and Blackbaud customers from across the Asia Pacific region.
Keynote Information
Our keynote presentation will feature Rebekah Horne, Vice president Australia and New Zealand, Fox Interactive Media. A constant figure in Australia’s popular culture scene, Rebekah Horne is responsible for driving the growth of the portfolio of Fox Interactive Media sites including MySpace.com.
Rebekah will discuss how social networking is dramatically changing the way we interact and make decisions, and what nonprofits need to know as they begin to utilize these new and exciting interactive mediums to reach donors, promote their mission, and engage with their community.
