Innovation is alive and well |

My “batteries” are almost back to 100 percent after the Convio Summit. What a fantastic week with our clients and partners. I mentioned in my “chat” with the crowd at the opening session that the innovation in the Convio client base is 10x what it was just a few years ago. Our clients are truly setting the pace for how the NP sector is engaging supporters and constituents in new ways. On NonprofitLive.TV I was asked to look into my crystal ball and tell the world what things look like in 5 years. I gave the best answer I could, but frankly, it is impossible to see that far ahead. Just comparing the work of our clients and partners at our Innovator Awards ceremony from two years ago is an apples to oranges comparison. They have embraced our Open strategy, our knowledge of the web and partnered with us on best practices and they still want more, which we intend to deliver. They have committed teams that are using the medium to motivate and drive passion out of their constituents that we haven’t seen before.
I am sure at the end of 2009 glasses of bubbly will be raised across our market in hopes that the tough times are in the rear view mirror and that 2010 will provide a return to growth in philanthropy. And yet, while times have been tough from a monetary standpoint, the Convio client and partner base has in many ways made 2009 a great year.
As we conclude our 10th Anniversary, I want to thank our clients, partners and the nonprofit community as a whole for your support, insight and acceptance of Convio - it has led to our mutual success. On behalf of the entire Convio family – thank you!
