Artificial Intelligence is THE hot topic of 2026.
Everywhere you look, software companies are touting their new AI solutions. But do the products and features live up to the hype?
Join Nic Prenger, Andy Schroeder, Austen Brown, and Angie Addison as they share their view on the state of AI in the nonprofit fundraising sector. They’ll talk about the most popular tools, share examples of what seems to work well, and give some cautionary advice to nonprofit leaders who are beginning to explore AI.
The goal of this session is to help you separate hype from reality, while providing you with a foundational understanding of how AI is being used by nonprofits, and what might be coming next.
We’ll plan to discuss:
- Blackbaud’s new and coming AI features
- Third-party AI solutions in the market
- The use of “Virtual engagement officers”
- Connecting donor data to AI
- Potential AI opportunities and risks
