CiviCon 2025: Registration is open

Is your CRM software at the top of your “Things I Love to Talk About” list?

I’m betting it’s not.

You want it to work when you need it, and otherwise it should just be there waiting for you.

Meanwhile, you’ve got more important things to consider:

• Building better relationships with your people.

• Making it easier for them to support your mission.

• Serving the needs of the folks you care about.

• Leading your team to set smart goals and work towards them effectively.

Of course, as it turns out, your CRM is a valuable tool to help you in all of those areas.

If it’s ever not working smoothly for you, you’re going to notice, because that limits you in the things that do matter.

That’s why I encourage you to make time to keep your CRM tools sharp. You can’t always focus on your tools, but their mastery is worth some investment.

Here’s a good opportunity to do that:

If you’re looking to up your CiviCRM game and make connections with like-minded folks, there’s nothing better than an in-person CiviCRM conference to make that happen.

Open registration has just been announced for CiviCon 2025, happening May 21-22 in Oakland, California (in the San Francisco Bay area). Besides the 2-day, 3-track conference, there will also be:

• Admin & User Training in the 2 days before the Conference (May 19-20)

• Developer Training in the 2 days after the Conference (May 23-24)

• Residential Working Retreat (“the Sprint”) for developers and documentation writers, in the 5 days after the Conference (May 23-27)

Participants can attend any or all of the segments listed above, but I think readers here will benefit most from the Admin & User Training (May 19-20) and the main CiviCon event (May 21-22).

I’ll definitely be there, and I hope you will too!

All the best,
A.
