Part of that is acknowledging the hardships that have been placed on all industries, including social good organizations, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuring all who will find value in attending bbcon 2020 Virtual will have the opportunity to join us for three days of thought leadership and best practices, technology trends and innovations and peer networking.”
