The London tech conference delivers record attendance, expanded sessions, and groundbreaking collaboration to accelerate social impact
LONDON, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leader in AI for social impact, recently hosted the bbcon London tech conference for social impact change-makers and nonprofit leaders on 24 November 2025. The event, the largest in five years, convened hundreds of Blackbaud customers, colleagues and partners to discuss best practices, share stories of impact, and discover innovative new technology advancements to power social impact across the nonprofit, corporate and fundraising sectors.
The expanded agenda featured five full tracks of content, curated by industry experts and customers, focused on innovation and AI, fundraising best practices, and mission delivery. Bauer Radio's Cash for Kids, the official charity of Bauer Media dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK, was presented with the Changemaker Impact Award at the event for their use of Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge NXT and the integration from Blackbaud partner Zeidman Development to transform how they connect internal teams, visualize and access data, and build donor relationships to provide support for over 500,000 disadvantaged children in the UK.
During the event Blackbaud announced its AI vision for systems of intelligent action, designed to empower charities and social good organizations to deliver more for their mission. This includes the introduction of Agents for Good™, groundbreaking agentic AI that proactively takes on high-value work, freeing time for organizations to focus on impact.
The company also shared its UK product roadmap, reinforcing its commitment to the region by introducing advanced AI capabilities designed to empower customers and drive innovation. Blackbaud's Intelligence for Good™ approach ensures that AI is applied ethically and responsibly, amplifying the effectiveness of social good organizations while safeguarding trust and transparency.
As part of its ongoing commitment to social impact, Blackbaud also donated an inspiring mural painted on-site during the event to a local London school, reinforcing its dedication to creating positive impact beyond technology. "Communities seek unity and purpose, and this artwork stands as a symbol of collaboration and innovation. It reminds us that technology and human creativity can intersect to drive meaningful change, sparking dialogue, fostering inclusion, and amplifying the impact of social good initiatives across the globe," said Senior Director, Sales and Customer Success, Blackbaud Europe, Matt Ravenhill.
Ciara Finney, Interim Head of School at Greenside Primary School said of the mural, "We have just unboxed our beautiful new mural, and we are beyond grateful for this incredible gift. It is absolutely stunning, and we feel so fortunate to have a piece created by Harkiran Kalsi, a talented London-based artist whose work radiates colour, positivity, and joy. For our pupils, this mural is far more than decoration. It will be a daily reminder to be kind, ready, respectful, and safe, and a vibrant symbol of the creativity and community spirit we value at Greenside. We are truly touched by the generosity behind this gift. It will brighten our corridors, inspire our children, and be treasured by our school community for years to come."
Planning is already underway for bbcon London 2026, with more information to be announced as program development continues.
