Blackbaud Announces Dates for 2026 K-12 User Conference

Multi-Day Event Will Inspire Innovation, Empower Strategic Leadership, and Foster Meaningful Connections Across the K-12 Community

Charleston, S.C. (September 3, 2025) - Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leading provider of software for powering social impact, is thrilled to announce the dates of its in-person K-12 User Conference, taking place July 15-17, 2026, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA. The three-day event, returning in-person in 2026, will bring together private and independent school professionals, thought leaders, and technology partners to learn, connect, and grow through meaningful conversations, hands-on learning, and shared innovation.

"We're bringing together the brightest minds in K-12 education to collaborate, innovate, and reimagine how technology can elevate the student experience," said Mark Davis, vice president, education products, Blackbaud. "Whether you're looking to streamline operations, boost enrollment, or deepen community engagement, this event will equip you with the tools, insights, and connections to make it happen."

The return of the conference has been met with great enthusiasm from Blackbaud customers. "What I love most about Blackbaud's K-12 User Conference is that the narrowed scope provides a deeper dive into issues and practices unique to K-12 schools, as well as ample opportunity to network with our peer schools and members of the Blackbaud K-12 team," said Carolyn Stevens, information systems administrator at Cranbrook Schools. "What quickly became my favorite portion of the event over the years was the 'UnConference' session because it facilitated organic discussions. With it being on the third day, we could discuss topics that weren't covered during the conference or take a deeper dive on a specific session! I am so happy for the return of this conference, and I can't wait to see everyone in Boston in 2026!"

Jeanne Townsend, database administrator at Thayer Academy added, "The Blackbaud K-12 User Conference was always 'the place to be' for Blackbaud's Learning Management System and Student Information System users, and I'm thrilled that it is coming back! Multiple days to connect with like-minded, curious, creative peers is such a gift. Who doesn't love talking shop with all their K-12 data geek friends!"
